So as the title says. We need help as our 8yr ds waking so much during the night and won’t go back to sleep unless someone is in with him. Before the summer hols he would wake during the night but max of twice and some nights wouldn’t wake at all.
Now over summer it’s all gone to pot and he is now waking 3/4/5 times a night! He seems incapable of settling himself.
I know I have caused this. Even as a baby he was a poor sleeper. I started climbing into his bed as he went to sleep quicker and then I would go back to my bed. Now he is a wake an hour after we leave his room.
I need help how can I teach him to settle himself how do we break this cycle.
