So we’ve always had to help DS get to sleep. Over the years it’s taken less and less of us eg we used to have to sing and rub his back etc and gradually we’ve stopped and now just have to lie next to him in his bed. He goes to sleep in minutes usually so that’s not really a problem for us
The problem is he never sleeps through. He always comes into our bed and he’s getting so big (we also have his 18mo sister in with us so it really is a tight squeeze) and I’m so uncomfortable and hanging off the edge. We are in the process of transitioning DD into her own room and honestly she’s doing better at staying asleep than he is.
He either wakes for the day at 3AM or kicks and elbows us all night long in our bed sometimes from as early at 1AM. It’s really having an affect on us and is also stunting his sisters transition into her own room cause we’re just so tired it’s sometimes easier just to keep her in with us if it means we’ll get some sleep.
So any advice? How can I get him to stay in his own bed all night? Especially during the night because he gets really upset sometimes and screams and cries which I don’t want to wake his sister and he is petrified of the dark which makes it harder, even coming from his room to ours at night scares him
Side note: we use night lights, he still has a little comforter which he loves dearly and is in a pretty good bedtime routine
