Change in child’s sleeping habits

Hi all, me and my partner - father to my DS have recently split in the last few months. DS has always been a fab sleeper, very rare wake ups in the night and always gone to bed ok and stayed in his own bed - never had to co-sleep. DS is coming up to 2.5 years and from around the time of the split has started to ask for ‘mamas bed’ every night with multiple wake ups unless he sleeps with me. Persevered putting him back in his own bed but whilst trying to heal myself, work, and look after a toddler the majority of the time I began to cave and co-slept (rooky error I know).

Did anyone else notice a huge change in sleeping habits with their little ones during a separation. DS still sees his dad on a regular basis, we have a good schedule for co-parenting. I’m moving out in the next few weeks so worried this will cause even more upset with him being in a new environment. Please help, tired, helpless mum.

Probably not what you want to hear but I just leaned into it and cosleep still.

It just feels “safer” than when we’re apart. And mine has never slept reliably in own bed so less of a change. But if you’re not enjoying it, stay firm.
