DS is 3.5 . Crappy sleep as a baby but was sleeping through by 9 months till 6-6.30am.
From about 2.5 he works also wait for his gro clock just like his sister.
In the last few weeks he's waking up 1-2 times a night and won't go back to sleep until someone lies in his bed with him or he sleeps in our bed. DH and I are light sleepers so tend to try to get him back in his own bed then leave when he's asleep. On top of this he is starting his day at 5am when he appears in our room. When we lie with him he just fidgets until his gro clock changes at 6.
He is utterly non-negotiable and non-bribable. I've tried stickers, treats all sorts. I could live with the early start if he wasnt waking up in the night too but he and we are utterly exhausted and work is getting a bit of a struggle.
It seems odd to have a new sleep issue at his age, any experience or advice much appreciated.
