I have two children, pregnant with my third. My husband travelled for 6 nights and due to an appointment with my eldest son very early in London, my youngest (just turned 2) had to stay at his nanny's as his dad wasn't home. Since that night, he's glued to me. I used to be able to put him in his cot and he just put himself to sleep, happiest bunny, goes to sleep, wont hear from him until the morning.
Now, I have to physically touch him to go to sleep. I move, he cries. If this was only going to sleep, no issues but he was awake for 5h last night. Its as if he cannot go to sleep in anticipation of me leaving the room. It's been about 2-3h every night and I can manage that (somehow) but 5. I feel so broken today. Husband thinks we should just let him scream but I cannot or I find it really really difficult.
He used to be the best sleeper but being 23 weeks pregnant doesn't help. I wouldn't know how to handle this with a newborn at home. I am feeling sorry for myself, yes.
Any advice? X
