I posted on here last January about my then 3yo DS waking every night and sleeping in with me and DH. Well, for a long time we kind of got used to it and actually quite liked it: it was cosy and cuddly and we all got a good nights sleep.
But just recently I've been really missing my bed and being able to read inbed before I went to sleep.
So we have started putting him back into his own bed when he appears at our door and its worked so amazingly well!! He goes straight back to sleep and most nights we only have to do this once.
The next step is him being able to wake andthen get back to sleep independently !!
A current incentive is that Father Christmas won't come if he's not in his bed!!
