So my 21 month toddler has started screaming when going to bed - we’re on the second night of this now
Prior to this he had just started to be ok to be left to settle himself to sleep. He’s absolutely fine still doing this for naps
On Monday night I think he might have had a nightmare soon after he’d fallen asleep. He took ages to resettle and had to have us stay with him. Last night DH stayed for a bit (after several stories) , then left for a few mins to pop to the toilet. In that time he’d cried so hard he made himself sick (he had a late dinner and 9oz milk so I’m not sure if that had something to do with it)
In the end DH managed to sit in his doorway until he fell asleep
He’s doing the same tonight. He’s screaming even when we’re in the room And trying to get out of his cot
I’m not sure what to do. He’s never been like this before and isn’t at nap time. I literally kiss him goodnight and he’s happy for me to leave
