DS is 2.5.
He's been able to self settle in his cot from being a baby, and our routine is bath, book on chair in his room, down in cot and leave the room. Don't hear a peep from him until morning.
We recently changed his cot into a bed as he learned to climb out. And since then will just not settle. Same routine, then he voluntarily jumps down and gets himself into bed after book. But if I try to leave the room he is up and out the door following me. He says stay there mummy if I try to go. They I stay and he still mucks about. I've tried sitting in the chair, sitting next to him, even lying in bed with him. He still mucks about getting in and out of bed and then eventually will go off, but only if I stay in the room.
It's a nightmare, and its adding an extra hour minimum onto bed time.
Any tips on how to break this habit or will he break out of it himself once he's used to the new bed? Thanks.
