Hi, my son co-slept till about 4 months old when he happily went into his bedside cot. At 6 months he happilly moved into a cot bed in his sisters room. And until last week at 9 months he slept through. He's started waking twice a night for feeds (BF) and is very restless and I put this down to a cold and growth spurt. So last night I said "That's it. If he wakes up he's back in with us". And he did. And he came in with us from 2am and slept through till 7.30am and we all got lay ins!!!! Heaven! Even I didn't wake at my usual 5.30am mental alarm call.

BUT .. during the week becuase of school runs I have to get up at 5.30am. And he often stays asleep till 7.30-8am. I can't leave him on the bed alone as he's a very fast crawler. He's also a light sleeper so lifting him back into his cot isn't an option. I need 6-8am for my own sanity so don't want to wake him. What do I do?
