It's hilarious how the more tired they get the more energy! Even rocking him on my shoulder sometimes he's reaching out for the pictures on the walls, leaning around to get something or to pull at my face, putting his head back to look at the ceiling, I may be pacing up and down and he turns to look one side to the other! He will sometimes drop off on my shoulder then shake his head or rub it into me to stay awake!

This has some great suggestions

Great article!

We bought Lily one of those 'magical miracle working' fisher price sleep inducing wonder seahorses, she bites it, flings it round her head and shouts at it!
