After some advice..my nearly 2yo dc is still in a cot. Goes off to sleep for a daily nap with no problems-I just lay him down say night and walk out and he goes straight to sleep until I wake him up 2 hours later.
At night time he goes off similarly at 7, although can have a bit of a whinge for 5 minutes or so. Occasionally he will really cry so we bring him down stairs and try again in half hour or so.
The problem is during the night, he's slept through maybe 4/7 nights and the other times will cry about 3/4 and I'll put him in bed with me until he calms then put him back to bed. On the nights dh is listening out for him he goes and sleeps on a pull out bed in ds's room and ds settles and goes back to sleep. This was manageable but it's started being every night and I want to break the cycle. Most times nothing seems to be wrong in the night, he turns down a drink and his nappy isn't really wet. He does have excema which I think might be waking him, but not sure. He quickly settles when he sees me or his dad.
What can I do? Do you think moving him to a bed would help? I'm worried this will cause more problems as he does settle well at bedtimes now. What were your experiences of moving dc to a bed from a cot?was it as awful as I'm imagining?!
He is above the 99th percentile for his age but is very slim, the cot is slightly smaller than a cot bed size and he still has a dummy for sleep.
