DS1 is 2y8m and has had spells of sleeping through in the last year, but mostly he'd wake once or twice for reassurance and go back to sleep on his own, in his cot, after a sip of water and a kiss.
However, over the last month he has started waking more and more often. We're now at the point where he wakes every hour and cries out for me. I don't know what to do. I can't work out if he is scared or if he just wants the attention, if I ask him what's wrong he will just say he wants some water. But he sounds quite distressed before I get to him. He never drinks much anyway so it's clearly not thirst!
He is fine during the day, not particularly shy or anxious. I've tried a night light, leaving the door to his room open, a comforter which he loves, but none of this has helped. Any ideas?
