My 21 month old DS & I have just moved into my mums house (long story) and DS is flatly refusing to sleep in his new room.
He has been here before, but my mum has been in hospital all year, and do we haven't been round here that often recently. I moved in a week ago, and DS stayed at his dads (who is 2 minutes round the corner) until yesterday, when he stayed here.
He only usually goes to his dads two nights a week, but while my mum has been in hospital, my sister had been living here & has completely trashed the house, so I wanted to make it habitable for DS before he moved in.
Anyway, he's always been very good at sleeping on his own in his own room, it's never been a problem.
Until now! He screamed & screamed last night when I put him in his cot, and only fell asleep when I bought him into my bed.
Tonight we've had the same thing, although i put him back in his cot after he fell asleep in my bed thinking that he might stay there. Straight away he was screaming, and he's now asleep in my he'd again.
I know that moving can be very stressful for children, I've been sticking to his routine, and tried to keep things as normal as possible, but I'm not sure what to do.
Do I stick with co sleeping? And if so, what's the best way to do it? I don't really know much about it.
Sorry for the babble, I obviously want him to be happy & settled, and am more than willing to give co sleeping a go, I'm just not sure of how to go about it!
If co sleeping using the best way forward, does anyone have any tips for settling him into a new room/house?
