My 8 month old DS has slept from 7 till 6 maybe 4 times in his life, but we were getting to the point where he would go down at 7, sleep till 5, then either be up for the day or take a bit of milk and then go back to sleep. In the last few weeks however he has become so fidgety in his sleep - getting himself into really weird positions in the cot. Mostly this doesn't bother him too much except when his face gets pressed up to the cot bars, but he now gets on to his front and then screams until one of us goes in and puts him back on his back.
So really I'm wondering if this is just a phase and if there's anything we can do to help him be more comfortable on his front so that he either falls asleep like that or rolls himself back onto his back? He has been able to sit independently since he was 5 months old and also to roll front to back, but back to front rolling in the day isn't really happening, nor is there any attempt at crawling or cruising.
Which also makes me worry that he is developmentally delayed??
Sorry first time mum here! (Am sure you can tell!!! 
)
