So probably like a lot of people who post here I’ve already tried a few things.
Here is a typical night for DS. He will go to bed usually between 7-730 and goes down without a problem, teeth, bath and then to bed. Sometimes a bit of rocking/cuddling but generally goes down drowsy but awake.
Then he wakes between 10 and 11 at night. Often this is when I’ve been asleep just an hour or two. And I simply cannot get him to go back to bed in his cot. He cries hysterically and clings to the side of the cot with his arms up.
I’ve tried pick up put down and I’ve tried the stay and support method. Neither have really helped.
I’d really like to eliminate that wake up so he and I get a longer block of sleep. Is this possible?
I’ve experimented with a later and earlier bedtime, neither made a difference.
