DS, just over three, until last Thursday night would be in bed at 7.15, lights out shortly after and asleep by 8.30ish. He was still having lunch time nap. Now he refuses to go to bed and practically screams the house down at bedtime (to the point I've had to apologise to neighbours!) and just repeats "I don't want to bed" over and over - until 1030pm Sat eve. If that's not bad enough he is then waking at 3am ish and we're having the same performance again and he wants to come into our bed waking his 18mth DD on the way. I've stopped lunchtime nap and he's shattered but it hasn't made a difference so far. We've tried softly, softly; threats; shouting in exasperation; etc but nothing makes difference. What do I do as we are literally at our wits end and at 8 weeks pg, I'm on my knees. I can only put this change down to the fact that I put him in spare bed with me earlier last week when he had a v high temp (he's had convulsions in the past) and he prefers there to his own bed. He's also getting 3rd molar so that's not helping. Can anyone help as this is such a new thing to deal with partic as he's now exhausted during the day and has gone from gentle boy to bad tempered one! HELP PLEASE!
