I thought I would update again on my nights and also ask a few questions as I am still not comfortable with ignoring ds at night. Since I last posted, ds is now sleeping from around 7pm to 7am without a feed! Some nights I don't hear him wake at all, but others he does and I am really not sure I am reacting to these very well. As an example, last night he woke me at midnight having a bit of a whinge. He wasn't crying, just makes a complaining noise. I decided to leave him to see if he would resettle and the next thing I knew if was 5.30am! That's fine, but dh said that he heard ds crying at about 12.30. I am sure I would have woken if he was properly crying but feel really really bad that I just didn't wake up.
The other thing is that most mornings I hear him either complaining or babbling at 5.30am. Again I leave him and I tend to go back to sleep until 7am. Please tell me if this is okay? I think he can make a noise for quite a while.
