DS is nearly 2 and for the last couple of months bedtime has become so awful - he has had the same routine since he was born and he used to go to bed so well but now it is a major battle EVERY night. As soon as we leave the room he screams, if you go back in and stroke his head he settles and closes his eyes but as soon as you leave the room he just stands up and screams again - we've tried leaving him to scream for a while but that just ends up with his getting so worked up it takes ages to calm him down again, we've tried so many things but every night we seem to end up with one of us in his room stroking his back or head until he drops off which can take up to 2 hours. I thought it was a phase at first so wasn't overly worried but it's been going on way too long now and seems to be getting worse. Any suggestions on how we can fix this please?! Feels like we have tried everything!
