Ahhh .. some sanity, or lack of, in a world of non sleepers! I have to say it's doing my head in, and 4 hours sleep for me the other night was just NOT on!
Hmm .. anyway, off track. Up until Amelia got a cold, then an ear infection, and now popping 2 teeth out, she has been a GREAT sleeper. In the past week I've been up at least once, usually more, each night. Sometimes she is awake for 2 hours. The other night she was up 2 hours, asleep for 40 mins, awake for another 40.
Last night she awoke at 12, went back to sleep by 12.30pm while being cuddled in a blanket, then awake 10 mins later for another 40 mins. That was a good night.
This is what I'm doing, and maybe you could try if you wanted:
She is going to bed with tights & PJ pants on. Plus a wool and cotton singlet underneath her PJ top. I have taken to putting a wool blanket on the TOP of the bottom sheet for extra warmth. We have a heater going all night in her room. She has one wool blanket on top PLUS a cotton duvet quad folded.
I have just discovered (well, pretty sure) she is scared of the dark, so the past 3 nights, we have had the hall light on (the nightlight hasn't been used in so long it needs a new bulb).
Last night, even though she felt warm I decided to pop a cardigan on AND put the hood up - it did the trick!
Good luck!
Another non sleeper

I will go in and make sure he's ok (ie: hasn't spewed or pooed) and then I leave and let him go back to sleep 
Some nights it takes him an hour of crying which sucks as I can't go back to sleep either but I don't want to get into habits I don't wish to keep (like getting him up!).
