Hi all
My 25 month old ds is driving me potty and im dreading bedtime tonight! He has had a good routine from about 9mths and has been in cot bed with sides down since Christmas. It was safer than him vaulting over the side which he discovered he could do...
Now he has started refusing to go to bed and screams his head off. Last night I tried leaving him for 5 mins to see if he got bored and went to bed....he was still going 20mins later, at which point I put him in my bed next door and he was happy. He screams the place down every night and points to my room....basically he wants to be with me.
Its also extended to the daytime and he kicks up a huge fuss when I drop him off at nursery. He clings onto me for dear life!
My parents are very old school and strict. They tell me to leave him to cry tonight as its the only way. I don't really want to do that and want to know some other methods to try. Any ideas? I have no idea why he is suddenly doing this.
