Hi,
My 15m son is suddenly refusing to sleep in his cot at night, even walking into his room at night he will start to cry.
From birth he's always been a fantastic sleeper and could lay him down at bedtime in the cot and he would fall asleep by himself and most of the time, sleep for a good 10 hours. Sometimes, he wouldn't even want a cuddle, just wanted to be in his cot.
Now, he refuses and will cry, won't even try to sleep. Recently he's been poorly so has slept in our bed a couple of times. We've tried a Cuddly toy (which actually helped when he was poorly but now isn't interested) and we have a grow egg which acts as a nightlight but not helping. He's now sleeping in our bed every night for the past week.
We've tried a bit of controlled crying but I don't know how I feel about it. He's just gone through a leap and he's much better now through the day,
Any tips or advice on how we can transition back to sleeping in his cot would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
