No he hasn't been sick this whole time.
During his awake episodes he lies in my arms calm and quiet. Seems like he's is trying to go back to sleep. Bt he can't seem to. After a long while he's tired of lying there and tries to get up. He babbles sometimes too. On those couple of ocassions where I gave up trying to put him back to sleep out of tiredness, ive just put him in his cot awake and hes happily (as long as I'm still there) stood there babbling and banging the rail or cruising around the cot. You see, wide awake!
No whenever he wakes at night I don't rush to him right away. I wait to see if he's really awake. Then I'll go in if he cries/whinges. I wouldn't go in if he's awake, content and not crying (which is never). It's extremely rare for him to make noises and just go back to sleep.
Whenever Ive gone to him 95% of the time he's stood up in his cot closest to the door, waiting for me. Once I pick him up the he's quiet.
Lol yes I thought you might pick up on the slightly varied bedtimes. I really do try hard for his sake, but I've never been that great at time keeping. Will try harder of course
So how long does regression last? Seems a bit soon for regression when he's only had 2 or 3 good nights.
What is the best thing to do once Ive realised hes wide awake? Continuously rocking him (in rocking chair of course) is very frustrating, but if I leave him in his cot then he will just play and babble, which won't help him get back to sleep any time soon.
