Tugs DS is in a cot bed and still has the sides on. DH and I can't decide whether or not to take the sides off - we know DS can climb out, but he never actually does it at night. We have the same problem at bed time - he often wants me to sit in his cot with him whilst he falls asleep, which would be SO much easier if he was in a bed!
MsBug YANBU. The same thought has crossed my mind!
Glorious have you tried cutting out dairy to see what happens? This is what my GP said to do. We were told to give it three weeks (apparently it takes 2-3 weeks for dairy to leave the system completely) and see if it helped (which it did). We were then referred to a dietician who talked through what things to try re-introducing and when, as well as giving us some recipes to use. She was brilliant. If E is actually sick I wonder if it might be an allergy rather than intollerance though? I'd make an appointment with your GP I think.
Jun I had to google Ninky Nonk 
. DS isn't really interested in CBeebies, but if he hears the theme the Strictly Come Dancing he squeals "Tess! Tess!" and settles down to watch. 
DH was out with the dogs all day Sunday so I took DS to my Mum's for the day. He threw a MASSIVE tantrum, threw himself on the floor kicking and screaming... and promptly fell asleep. 
. We left him there. He slept for three hours!
Finally managed to track down some pyjamas with feet for DS (he loves them. The last lot we got second hand). Ordered them from Le Redoute - they're doing 15 off your first order if you spend 30 or more, plus free delivery, so we got three pairs of nice PJs for 15.
