My DS has been in his own room since he was 4 months old never had any problems until now!! He’s just turned two and he’s started refusing to sleep in his own room he cries and cries so far I’ve not give in to let him sleep in my bed but I’m really not getting enough sleep and I don’t want to start letting him sleep in my bed in case he never wants to get out and sleep on his own again! Does anyone know why he might be doing this or does anyone have any tips?

Could you sleep in his room with him?

Does he have a sibling he could share with? Night light? Mine is going through the same right now and I think it's dreams starting

My 2 year old would much prefer to sleep in my room than his own. Some nights I give in and let him as we all need sleep.

I’m sure by 15 he will have stopped it so it’s whatever he needs for now.

Let him sleep in with you until he chooses not to. Humans naturally would never let their kids sleep alone. All species are born with an expectation of how they need to be parented and our young expect to sleep with us next to them. I can speak from experience that if you're brave and trust your kid to know whats best for themselves here, you'll end up with a strong young adult who feels confident in themselves and with the love of their parents. They grow up so quickly and you only get one chance to get it right.
