Currently lying next to my DS trying to get him back to sleep. Looking for some similar stories or advice? DS had always been difficult to get to bed needing to be held etc until the start of lockdown in March we finally cracked it and got into a great routine of putting him in his cot and being able to walk away straight after whilst he fell asleep happily. However since the clocks have gone back I don’t know what on earth has gone wrong. He is teething atm so this could potentially be all it is but it’s never been such an extreme effect on bedtime before. Every night he now needs me to sit next to him and stroke his head in order to fall asleep which I don’t mind doing however I now feel it is affecting him at night as he’s now up most of the night needing me back by his side. He’s happy if I’m just sat next to him or laying on the floor next to him but he can be fast asleep I’ll leave the room and 20mins to an hour later he’s awake crying and we start the process again. The other night in fact I was up doing this for 6 hours straight until he finally gave in and had a 2 hour sleep. I have tried just saying I need to go to the toilet quick etc to try and leave him but nothing works. It’s really affecting him during the day now as he’s so tired and will refuse all naps aswell even if he’s been up half the night. Just wondering if anyone else has been through the same and has some advice??
