My 22 month old son has slept from 7pm - 5:30am for the last year (apart from a few rough patches) but over the last 2-3 weeks his sleep has completely unravelled and he’s fighting naps, fighting bedtime, waking in the night and starting the day at 4:30. All of this is accompanied with a lot of furious screaming.
I’ve tried many ways to help him sleep. We previously did sleep training which worked really well - it will not work this time around and yes I did persevere.
One night I spent 4.5 hours in his room trying to get him to lay back down in his cot and stop screaming - giving up at 4:30am. As soon as I put him in our bed he went to sleep.
At the moment we all just desperately need the sleep, so I’ve resigned myself to cosleeping. The trouble is I’m really bad at it. I’m so aware of his every movement, he’s a big boy and thrashes about, sometimes for 2 hours in the night.
Has anyone got any tips of experience to share that could make our cosleeping experience better please?
