My 3 yo has suddenly taken against his bedroom. He want to share with his little brother who is ALMOST sleeping through. I'm happy for them to share, even though they don't need to, but not 'til the baby (10 mo)'s sleeping is a bit better established.
WE're spending a fortune on a new bed for DS1 for his birthday (at his request) but it's still a week away, and honestly I'm not sure if I can last that long!
He's finally discovered getting out of bed to find mum and dad, so he's in our room saying "I need to talk to you mummy" at 3am; he's having hysterics and I'm having to sit outside his door to reassure him back to sleep. THe other night I ended up sleeping in the hall for 3 hours.
We've tried all sorts of night lights, none of which seem quite right to him. My approach is to be reassuring but not negotiate. Unfortunately this all started when we let him go to sleep in the big bed in his little brother's room a couple of times for a treat. Now he wants that every night, and I'm just not ready for them to share.
I feel that if we ask him why he doesn't like his room, he can't really articulate it, so it's difficult to reassure him.
Any advice???????
