Look at him, out like a light. If only.
Following his achievement in sleeping through the night on Christmas Eve, we thought Jamie had cracked this old sleeping lark (naive, I know).
But, during and since his illness, his sleeping pattern has gone out of the window.
His morning and afternoon naps are hit and miss. And at night, he tends to stir between 1 and 2am, then perhaps at 4 and finally at around 5.30 when we generally feed him and drag him into our bed 'cos we're knackered.
He's not in great distress and there are no tears. He just doesn't want to go down.
Anyway, today Vanessa discovered that this phenomenon has a name. Jamie is suffering from sleep regression.
Apparently it tends to strike at around four months but is also common at six months and normally indicates a growth spurt - as if he wasn't big enough already - mixed up with a bit more teething.
This particular "stage" shouldn't last any more than another couple of weeks which is just as well for, the way things are going, I don't think either Vanessa or I will last much longer than that either.
Still, at least we know he's alright......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......
