Is it a sleep association problem Em, where he needs you in the room? Dd was like that for ages (wanting to be held) so we did sleep training. It was painful but it worked! She’s brilliant now, we put her down awake and she almost always goes to sleeep on cue, night times and naps (though afternoon naps still overlap with the school run so not ideal in the week). Payback for the first 9 months of awfulness though, and it may not last!
In fact, she’s been quite upset tonight. She just seems really discombobulated to be in a travel cot in a different house. And going to bed 2 hours later than normal... she’s been all over the shop but has conked out st last.
We’ve got Ocado coming tomorrow between 6.30 and 7.30am as it was the only slot I could get (had to change from delivery this evening as we weren’t sure if/when we’d get here). So no lie in for me! Might have an easy day. Our cottage is beautiful but not very practical in some ways - parking isn’t right outside (we have a LOT of stuff!) and the stairs are very steep. It’s also a scary windy hairpin very steep single-track trail to get here, I was holding my breath at times when driving! But Yorkshire was looking very handsome as we drove through and it’s only for 4 nights then on to Loch Ness. Exciting!
It didn’t rain in the end but it’s definitely noticeably fresher than London ☺️
Wolf I hope you enjoy your trip, and that yours is looking up Mammy!
