I seem to always be on this board at the mo but I have another question, sorry!
DS is 5 months and tends to wake up wide awake around 3am. Today he was awake 3-5am and is now asleep on me as I'm scared to put him down (did so at about 3:30 but he woke up as soon as I got back in bed and dozed off).
He starts off happily babbling away but then soon gets upset and wants rocking. He was screaming the house down so I eventually fed him (even though he was last fed at 1) and gave him calpol (which I don't want to rely on). Everyone in RL inc the GP says he shouldn't need night feeds anymore, but everything I read online says night feeds are normal. Anyway I don't mind that, they're not the issue really.
Last night I took him into the spare bed with me, dozed (told myself I was 'modelling good behaviour' 
) and let him get on with it, and he eventually fell asleep. Don't want to go back to cosleeping though really so don't want that to become a habit.
Tonight he went to sleep at 7:15 by himself in his cot, with just my hand on his tummy, which is totally amazing and unheard of, and then didn't wake up until 1, so he totally lulled me into a false sense of security. That was the best bedtime we've ever had.
He keeps stirring and thrashing around on me and opening his eyes in his sleep.
I wonder what would be causing this and what to do about it? He is teething, 2 teeth but they've both come through the gums now. Have read of few similar threads on here and other sites but all either about newborns or 12 months +.
Aaaaaand now DH is up for the day, and me and DS normally get up at 6:30 anyway, so I guess that's that.
