Does anyone have any helpful tips for helping 1 year with separation anxiety from starting nursery? We thought he was in pain during the night for a few weeks as he would scream for hours and wouldn't go in his cot, just wanted cuddles all night. We've now put it down to starting nursery and he's become clingy in the day with me aswell now. I've spent the last two nights sat on the armchair in his bedroom with him sleeping on me and can't go on like this. We are all exhausted! We've tried leaving him to cry a number of times but he screams so badly we can't do it for long and it doesn't get us anywhere. He only goes one day a week but missed a day over a week ago as he was ill and we actually got four nights of sleep a few days after. He then went back on Friday and has stopped sleeping and become even more clingy during the day. I really want him to carry on going to nursery and hope he'll eventually get used to it and settle down but we can't keep on with no sleep anymore. It's been over a month now and we've run out of ideas on what to do.
Any help would be great!
