Last night my little one woke and was creaming at 4.15am. I thought something was wrong but he just wanted to go downstairs. I tried to comfort him in my arms but nothing was settling him. Took him in my bed which he rarely comes into and we watched my phone. Probably shouldn't have done that but I can't stand his crying.
He wasn't sleeping but it was nice to have him under the duvet with me.
After 10 mins I put him back in his cot and his room. Same issue occured again - crying to go downstairs.
I just left him in the cot until he eventually slept at 6am.
I did go in one or twice into the room but honestly I can't settle him when he wants to go downstairs and I told him it's dark outside.
I was watching him on the room camera so he wasn't in any danger.
Did I do the wrong thing? Next door is hard of hearing so won't wake him. I live just with toddler.
