It could be down to his teething, but its always better to be safe and get it checked out. Check his temp to.
You could try the glass test to?

thanks for all you replies girls

Well he was totally fine in himself, his temp was normal and he had all of his last bottle so i have put him to bed.

will check on him in a bit, NHS said that as it's raised a little its prob nothing to worry about and only to contact doc if it stays more than 24 hours so will keep check on it

yeah that sounds just like what he has got, plus he is getting a bit more sniffly too so I think he must be coming down with a cold.. poor lil thing. it's awful when they are poorly isn't it He just woke up a minute ago too, he never normally wakes up once he goes down for the night. aww
