Hi there,
Our 2 and half year old toddler is a happy chap.
We have in the last 2 weeks put away his cot and put a small single bed in his room. We involved him whilst making these changes and made it a big deal.
He has his favorite postman pat duvet and his toys close by. We read stories and have milk at bed time after a bath so he is relaxed. He climbs into bed all happy but doesn't want to sleep in the bed. He says ' sleep next to me'.
He used to love his cot but hates settling to sleep in the bed.
He climbs out of the bed several times and calls us.
He makes every excuse possible and usually weeps himself to sleep which is stressful.
During the night around 2pm he finds his way to our bedroom and jumps into our bed.
Everyday he says ' not sleeping in my bed, sleeping in Mummy's bed'.
Do you think we have put the cot away too early or is this a normal pattern.
