Until about 2 weeks ago my 22 month old was a model child and a fantastic sleeper. Something has happened and he has started waking in the middle of the night, jumping out of his cot and having tantrums for up to 2 hours (because he wants to go downstairs). As this is meaning he is sleeping less he is also tantruming all day as well.
We have made his cot bed into a bed (as we were worried about him hurting himself) and have put a stair gate on his door so we can confine him to his room during his tantrums. He is now refusing to sleep on the bed and is sleeping on the floor and will not go to sleep when he is on his own in the room.
Just to make matters worse I am expecting a baby at any time and am therefore desperate to try and sort this out. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Does anyone have any advice?
