thanks to all the advice from you lovely ladies regarding my bedtime routine i thought i would update!
we have gradually moved it earlier & earlier, and for the last 5 nights he has been bathed, half of bottle and asleep by 7pm! sleeping through until 8 or 9am! we top him up with his milk around 10pm... he normally has 9oz so say he has 5oz at half6ish we give him other 4oz at 10pm.... tonight hes has 6oz so i will give 3oz later. im hoping he will gradually take the whole 9oz at 7pm! i have been doing controlled crying which has been tough but touch wood he goes down no problem and doesnt cry!!!! he was crying loads (it was awful i cried too!) but gradually after a tough few weeks has cried less and less and now doesnt even care i think hes happy its bed time!!!!
