My little one use to be an amazing sleeper slept all night in his own bed he hit 2 years old and started weakening through the night coming into our bed (we should of nipped it right then) but we didn't anyway it was still at a point where we could handle he would sleep 5 nights in his own bed and then be in ours for the rest he started being sneaky and was getting quiter and quiter coming through so we didn't notice, then it got to a point were he would only fall asleep in our bed we got that stopped thankfully I use to be able to read to him and walk away now I have to sit with him till he is asleep then leave, we have a new baby who sleeps all night thankfully but my other one doesn't for the passed 18 months he has only probly been in his bed all night for about 3 months but that isn't in a row,he wakes up and screams and screams and screams sometimes wakening the baby up I'm shattered I hate nighttime I don't know what to do I have asked to doctor and health visitors and get the aw response "you don't hear if an 8 year old still sleeping with there parents" this doesn't help me this makes me think oh yes he bloody will if I don't sort it out, I sit with him when he wakes up during the night to save the screaming but I'm up till 3/4 in the morning I'm shattered all day and feel awful because I snap at him for the slightest thing but I'm so tired and frustrated! When he does sleep all night I still don't get a full sleep as I'm subconsciously waiting for him, his dad tries to help at night but he works up at 7 back by 5 it isn't fair to keep him awake he does the weekends but one day a week "full" sleep isn't enough, I hate nighttime so dread it so much! At 5pm onwards is just sadness cos I know what lies ahead! I have made his room all super hero's and we read stories he doesn't get TV in bed or anything like that no fizzy juice ever or sweet stuff before bed I just don't know what to do! The more I do during day with him the less he needs to sleep!! HELP ME PLEASE I don't know what else to so :( :(
