Need sleep

BB was wakeful and annoying again last night. Sammywol took the brunt of it and didn't get back to bed until after 5.00 am.

We need to break this stupid habit he's developed before he's sold to the next passing Jehovah's Witness. All suggestions gratefully accepted.

Some co-workers bought a book on baby sleep. I'll see if it did any good.

I beleive the Jehovah's Witnesses are having cash flow problems due to an excess of credit default swaps. See if you can hold out for some Mormons.

More seriously, this one worked for us

when Elizabeth was refusing to go to sleep - waking up once she was asleep was never her problem.

Unfortunately Oscar's problem seems to be waking up in the middle of the night and then refusing to go back to sleep. He's more or less okay about going off at bedtime, though a little anxious about the actual falling to sleep part.

I'm looking forward to his teenage years when I can drag him out of bed at the weekends in revenge.

A book I've been reading recommends sitting in his room as he's in bed (but not lying in bed as he goes to sleep, because he'll come to expect it). Every night move your chair farther and farther towards the door, then eventually outside the door, but where he can see you.

Apparently, after a few weeks of this, he'll drop off by himself.

Good luck!

We might see if that works, but the layout of the room doesn't give us much room for manoeuvre.

From personal experience I think I should have gone with the JW option...
