Also if it's 3.30 every night he could be waking through habit now (perhaps caused by teething in the first place possibly?) I'm not sure what to do for this, but I read in the Baby Whisperer that you should wake him an hour before the habitual waking time, to get them out of the habit. I know it seems backward, but this is supposed to work apparently!
Good luck hon - sounds like you're doing a great job.xx
