During the process of moving house and settling him into a bed, we've got into a bad habit of staying with DS (2.5) until he goes to sleep. Then when he wakes up in the night he comes into our room to get me so that I can come and sleep next to his bed. It's the path of least resistance as he goes straight back to sleep and I can get some kip on the cushions on the floor, or nip back to bed once he's asleep. But now he's coming in twice a night to get me and I realise we've created an expectation and need to break it. I guess we'll do the putting him back into bed and then leaving thing repeatedly , but he'll be outranged at the apparently arbitrary rule change, and I do have some sympathy with that. Is there anything I can do to make this process easier?

Is it ok to arbitrarily change the rules and tell DS (2.5) that I won't sleep in his bedroom when he comes to get me in the night anymore
