Hi all I need help before I go mad! My 5yo has always struggled with sleep even from a baby. As he’s got older and we have been totally soft lying in bed with him till he nods off! I know this is ridiculous and believe me we are now paying the price!
I’m expecting baby number 2 so decided time to be strong and make him go to sleep alone. I put him to bed give cuddles and watch s cartoon or read a book with him. I then let him read s book alone or watch one more cartoon before sleep. We’re on day 5 and it’s been hit and miss with him crying or shouting up for me to go in his room to reassure him. Tonight has been horrific. He’s still not asleep (half 11!!) and is so tired from crying hysterically to just being so worn out.
Anyway I need any help tips or anything u can give please before I go mad or give in!!
Thanks for listening
