My 22 month old has suddenly become seemingly terrified of his cot. He is a lovely but high maintenance child who needs a lot of stimulation but he has always been good about going to bed. He needs his sleep or he becomes very unhappy and cranky. I am guessing this has come about due to the birth of my 5 week old son but now he screams when put it to the for. He used to ask to go to bed and snuggle straight down. We have a bedtime routine which we are still doing but we are having to try Jo frosts' technique of sitting in room and averting eye contact which seems to work. I got him a new soft colour changing lamp which he likes but doesn't seem to make him less scared. He wakes up terrified that we are not there. Any tips please? Thank you in advance. Worried how I will cope eith both when hubby back at work.nect week - it was hard enough before but now he is more tired he is becoming more fractious and tricky.
