12MO needy boy

Hi all, my 12MO is currently doing sleep training because he has ridiculous separation anxiety and has ended up in my bed for some time... He will sleep all night in there with a few wake ups and a few scratches to the elbows for comfort and making sure he is touching me all night. Now he is in his cot.... He's waking up every 10 to 20 mins just wanting to feel us. I don't know how to get past this, he literally sits up in his cot crying (we've tried leaving him but he projectile vomits) so we go see him, place my hand on his head and off he pops back to sleep.... Until the next time. Send help, love a very tired mama xxx

I’m so sorry if this is unhelpful but it sounds like he just needs to be near you. Is it necessary for him to be separated from you?

(I have my son in a cot next to the bed - you could try that for a more gradual change so it’s less disorienting?)

Does the cot have to be in a seperate room straight away?

Could you bring the cot next to your bed, for the interim as he learns to sleep independently?
