My ds has been a good sleeper until the last few weeks when he has started waking in the night saying a variety of things like 'ive lost bunny' or ' I need a drink' and then refusing to go back to sleep unless me or dh hold his hand for aaaaages. I need to get him able to settle himself but don't want to read the riot act to him- any ideas? He used to settle off at bedtime fine but has also taken to only drifting off when his hand is being held. I didn't mind this too much as it is normally just a few minutes but I think it is at the heart of him not going off properly in the dark of night. I am now pg with dc2 and need my sleep - any suggestions would be very welcome!
