Ali - he's 19 weeks (DD's 23 months). He's sleeping now, thank goodness! He took quite some persuading which is not usual for him. He's usually a fantastic sleeper whereas DD was a monster, she still doesn't sleep through reliably at nearly 2. I'm just not used to it anymore

Thanks Ali! A bit of sympathy certainly helps Especially when one isn't getting any IRL! I can't remember how DD was at this age, but she was a quite difficult a lot of the time, so probably not a fair comparison.
