Absolutely horrendous night last night ???  DF at 10.30pm then woke at 2.30am, 4am, 5am and then 6am!!! What on earth is going on???!!  His naps were fine, ate well. I am completely at a loss... :(

My friends keep telling me to let him CIO but I desperately dont want to go down that route, what else can I try??!

Michelle - Sorry to hear about your rough night.  Don't try CIO, this is such a short period in their lives, but I do truly believe that it is one of the most developmental times in a child's life. 
Let's check out your routine again, maybe we can tweak it a bit.

Michelle--I agree with Michelle...post your routine and let's have a look!  FWIW, I actually would really recommend creating your own thread, just so more people know that you're looking for advice.  Hang in there!  There's obviously something going on here that's causing the NWs...CIO won't make it any better...as tempting as it sounds sometimes, I know (we're weaning the swaddle and are experiencing much crying ::)).

i've seen a bear - not as cute close up when there's not a fence between you and it!

well we went away 2 days ago and her night after the ferry ride travel day was terrible - woke up every hour between 9:30 pm and 5:30 am when was up for the day.

then had 3 naps that day and had a pretty good night - in bed at 6:20 and only up twice to eat but up again at 5:30 am.  3 naps yesterday again and a good night - in bed by 6:45pm, up at 10:30 pm to eat and 3:30 am to eat and slept until 7:30 am.  so last 2 nights have been good.  also noticed that she has now woken up at night and put herself back to sleep after a bit of fussing a few times now.  so i think things will get better once she is solidly on 2 naps.  we came home today - so again on the ferry and having some house renos done today so naps will be mixed up and in the carrier/stroller.  so tonight will probably not be good but what can you do!

i am hopeful.  yes i do think that one day it will all fall into place.  dd1 was a hit and miss (mostly miss) sleeper until 7 mo and then just started sttn and hasn't looked back (unless sick) since...although now she is up to go pee in the night but that's ok.

i am hopeful.  had a good nights rest the last 2 nights so i am feelingbetter myself which really helps to face the day :D

well yesterday she had 3 naps : 1 hour, 30 min and 45 min.  in bed at 7:15 pm (slept in until 7:30 am that morning), woke at 10:30 and i fed her and then she slept until 6 am  :D so almost sttn!!  :D  i think...i woke up at 6 am and looked at the video monitor and she was already awake and sucking her thumb.  i left her in there until she started to make noise which wasn't until 6:30, so i don't really know when she woke up.  but today again only 3 short naps (another day out...we'll get back on track tomorrow)...30 min, 1 hour, 45 min.  so early to bed tonight and we'll see how it goes after a very long last A time.

Wow Brenda that is fantastic news!!! ;D  I'm so pleased for you!!! And long may it continue!!

We've been away at friends this weekend so routine been all over the place but I'll make a note of what happens tomorrow and I'll start a new thread - lets see if we can put our heads together and sort this little man out before he kills me!! ::)  Definitely NOT going to CIO though - couldnt do that to him. I know he needs my help to get through this - its not like he's doing it on purpose to test me...although it sometimes feels like it ;)

Will post on tuesday when we've got through tomorrow. Wish me luck!! xx
