ds is 2.4
We have had a year of chaos, with separating from his dad and moving house. But all is stable at the mo, and I thought it was nigh on time I sorted out his sleep.
He was never a great sleeper, but was sleeping through until relatively recently. When he stopped sleeping through (a few months ago) I let him sleep with me, which became habitual. But I nailed that with a sticker chart
BUT he is still waking, and while he is more prepared to stay in his cot (not done the transition to bed yet, cos of moving), he is very difficult to settle, and will wake again later in the night.
I tell him I will come back in a little while, which works until he wakes again, and last night I told him he is waking up the poor neighbours!
He goes down for his nap (now 1 hour - I am trying cutting it back from the 2 hrs he used to have) ok, but will call me and call me before he goes to sleep at night.
So essentially he needs to settle himself at bedtime, and particulalry in the middle of the night. Any ideas how I can help him do this? CC is not an option, as I live in a terrace.
