Why has my 3 year old son suddenly started waking in the night and screamed for the past week when put to bed?? Do you think it could be half term break from playschool (change of routine)
Am sitting downstairs now and he is upstairs screaming for me, have tried to keep putting him in bed and walking away etc over and over. Don't know what else to do, going mad now after 45 mins, just want to cry myself! Had 3 hours sleep last night.

Could it be the change of hour? If he is so distressed, I would bring him downstairs until he calms down. That is just my opinion!

I have no idea, could be I guess. He has calmed a bit now, he keeps asking for me. Dh is out so feeling stressed. Had to be at work for 5am, so am so tired.
I brought him downstairs yesterday and don't want to make a habit of it!
