Our 31 month old just went into his big bed one month ago.
It's been a nightmare since. First few nights were great. Then he got very ill and it all went wrong. He's now better, but every night is a battle. He first tried getting up a trillion times. We did rapid return consistently. Now he's not doing that so much, rather he's crying his eyes out in bed and pleading for me to come back in and comfort him.
His routine is bath, PJs, brush teeth, choose book, milk and book in bed, then three nursery rhymes. The idea is that he then goes to sleep... he's not doing this and is crying his eyes out for more songs once I leave the room.
His Dad and I are about to kill each other. Every night is hell on earth. I work very long days and I'm up at 5:30am to get ready for work. We cannot go on like this. Any tips greatly appreciated.
Rapid return isn't quite doing the trick...
