Hi there, my 13 mo had always gone down without hiccups at night, by himself, after a bedtime routine that we've started from about 3 months. The past few weeks he is increasingly refusing to be left alone, starts crying when I walk out, sits up. He does this whether he has had a late-ish nap and/or like yesterday, he was up from 2pm. Put him down at 6:30 and had to stay with him crying and babbling until 7:20. Normal bedtime is around 7.
Any ideas would be appreciated! Would like to nip this in the bud, without giving him the bottle, but I don't know, sometimes the path of least resistance seems just too tempting.
