Thankyou

We actually had quite a good night, he woke at 10:30, 1:20 and 5:30 and had a feed each time, didn't want the dummy, I made an effort to wind him carefully and each time he resettled easily. He woke for the day at 7:10.

Fingers crossed for tonight

We did a df the other night - not focusing on winding as we are now - and it didnt go well!
I don't think he took much and was unsettled afterwards. I wish he would take a dam bottle!

Last night we had a long wake-up at 3am, he seemed 'awake' def hadn't had too much day sleep.

As the days go on I'm more convinced he is windy during the night. We'll keep trying  :)

Sometimes having the cot mattress on an incline as you would for reflux can help with gas at night.
