hes so handsome, can i ask how old he is? our pead wont give dd until shes 3

he is just 16 months old on the 2nd, we saw neurologist (to assess for botox) and he asked about his sleeping, he takes ages to bf to sleep most nights and he wakes every 45 mins when he is asleep. neuro guy said thats no good so we did a bit of behavioural therapy which had little effect so prescribed the melatonin, which he is just about to have so i'll say night night for now! see if it works

lovely pictures, such a little cutie .

We started using melatonin last week, it seems to be working (dd falling asleep earlier) but she's waking earlier too. Yesterday she fell asleep at 3pm (as she was up at 5am), we gave her melitonin at 8pm but it had no effect at all, dd2 finally fell asleep at 10.30pm and still woke at 6am.

Hope you have a good night .

wish paed would prescribe for ds hes 4.7 and does not sleep well have asked but there want to wait and see .hence me posting at silly oclock

well not as i expected. he dropped off lovely at 8 but woke at 11.30 and didn't go back to sleep til 1.30 and eventually got up at 7.30 not the worst night we've had with him. but he has started with a cold with a temp this morning so that might have something to do with it. think we're in for a really miserable day
