My 2.5 year old has slept fantastically since he was about 1 - 12 hours reliably. A few weeks ago he was ill with a virus and his sleep was quite disturbed. I thought it would settle when he got better, but it hasn't. He seems quite scared to go to bed, even for naps, although he'll go down with plenty of reassurance. The main problem is he wakes in the night (anywhere from 1am to 3am usually) really upset, wanting mummy and is very hard to settle. I've started leaving his door open which he prefers, he has a night light too. Is this fear of bedtime and sleeping normal at his age? Will anything fix it other than time? I really feel for him but also I am exhausted! I have tried bringing him into my bed but he won't settle there. Any advice greatly appreciated.
