Help me get a good night sleep

Ok- heres some background.

DS co-slept with us up until August, when we bought him his twin bed.

Right away- I started a new routine and stayed strong. After a few nights he was 100% sleeping in his own bed...

WELL... this weekend I goofed. Friday we were all exhausted from Halloween, so I let him snooze in our bed and I moved him after he fell asleep.

Sat. we did a slumber party and I laid with him and watched a movie. We both fell asleep in his bed, and I went into my room in the middle of the night.

Sunday was daylight savings, and it just made things worse.

PS- my son is having major issues sleeping these past few days.

I have finally gotten him to sleep in his bed again, BUT he keeps getting up @ 12:30 and throwing these awful fits to come into my bed.

Im holding strong, but its keeping me up from 12-2:30 and him and I are both exhausted...

Any suggestions on making hm stay there all night long and eliminating this mid night wake up?

I would stay consistent. We're having sleep issues as well and we just won't break down and we've even started letting her just cry.
She has even fallen asleep in the hallway some nights because we refuse to keep going up and down, up and down for every little thing. I think at this age they especially know what they're doing.

The only thing i can suggest from watching the nanny is to repeatedly keep putting him back in bed with little to not attention. Ive seen this go on for hrs but at least its 1-2 days vs very nite.

Thats what Im doing... but I have little to no patience left.

Im soo tired to begin with, and to be up for hours in the middle night is sooo exhausting!

I just want 1 nights sleep with no interruptionsChat Icon
