I've a two and half year old and a baby, baby fairly new and trying to adapt to a routine. Thing is I've a hyper vigilant toddler who has become a sensitive sleeper. Kicks off at bedtime, nap time and any other time he needs to be in his room. He wakes more than once a night and I end up bringing him in with me for the sake of getting a sleep as both toddler and baby are hard work.
Anyone any advice on how to help my toddler get into a good night time/bedtime/sleep routine. I've kept him to his routine or bath then bed. I usually lie with him at side of cot bed till he falls over. Or if I'm dealing with the baby my son who is older will take over and sit with him until he falls over.
Toddler is very head strong. Also doesn't help that he goes to his fathers half the week and he isn't as strict with the bedtime routine and from what I gather gives into most demands.
I'm at a loss as to create some harmony. Once toddler has stopped screaming house down (I've tried the controlled crying where I go back and soothe) baby wakes up.. vicious cycle.
