R.M.
Not all children need as much sleep as others...and not all children need as much sleep as we tired Mom's would LIKE for them to need!!! Maybe you should start putting your son to bed a little later in the evening...move it back to 9 and see what happens in the mornings!!! That way he can enjoy some family time at night with Dad after work!!! If he is getting up 10 times a night...what is happening when he gets up? Is he being "rewarded" with snacks...play...interaction? If he needs to go potty....or have his diaper changed...do it with no interaction or eye contact if possible. Don't be mad at him...just be quiet....don't offer drinks or snacks...and don't let him play with his toys. Make it BORING to be up in the middle of the night!!! Hopefully he will learn to sleep through the night if it is no fun to be up in the night!!
