Do I Dare?

*peeks out from behind door and whispers post*

I think it might be getting better...
I know I jinxed myself last time... but I honestly think sleep might be improving. Now, I might be shooting myself in the foot here (and believe me, it might be a little less painful than night after night of no sleep and day after day of horrendous napping) but we may be coming out of the sleep regression.

The fussing over bottles is getting better, he's no longer screaming with the teat in his mouth, he drinks a few ounces and plays with the teat for a while, but he is taking it (albeit slowly).

Naptimes are difficult but bearable. For his am nap he slept in his bouncy chair to the tune of Classic AM for a fair while. I don't know how long it was, but it was enough time for me to shower, brush my teeth, make beds, do bottles, get dressed AND put make-up on. I even got a slice of toast and half a cup of tea before he roused his sleepy head. He then played with my face (his new favorite toy - he likes to pull my face around and babble) before going in the door bouncer (hilarious, will upload video later) whilst I sorted his breakfast and put away toys. He had a bit of an Ella's Kitchen pouch (I know I said I wouldn't use them but it was pure mango and I refuse to buy them and puree them myself as mango puree can't be frozen and the rest would be wasted). He happily munched that down and then I dressed him and went to visit my friend for the day, where he had another sleep in his pram (again for a fair while). Bedtime was reasonable, a few minutes of fussing before he let me pat his bum to sleep in his cot.

So the daytimes have improved... and dare I say it... so have the nights!!

Two nights ago my SIL bought be a night-time porridge back from Germany, and I gave him a small amount before bed. He slept thought until 4 when he woke for his dummy twice... and that was it. No feeds, no fussing...
Last night he slept from 7 until 2.30am, had a feed and woke twice more for his dummy and woke for the day at 6.30...

Have I cracked it? Could we be coming out of the hell which is the four month slepe regression? If so, IT'S ABOUT BLOODY TIME!!!!!
