Help!...our little one won't sleep in his own bed

[Durnie]

Hi I was looking for advice our little boy is 14months old he used to sleep in his cot fine. After all of us catching a cold he ended up staying in our bed and ever since will not go back in his cot. He screams the place down if we put him in his cot, his screaming is so bad he has on a few occasions ended up being sick. We have tried bath, bottle with cuddles but as soon as we tried to put him down he wakes and starts screaming. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

For a limited time (not forever), would ypu consider bringing his cot into your bedroom, next to your bed?

The idea would be to get him used to sleeping in the cot while still having the constant reassurance of your presence.

Once he is used to going to sleep in his cot, move it away from your bed, bottom of your bed for example, then progress back into his room.

Could you just have him in With you for a couple of years?
You might all get more sleep that way!
