My daughter has always fallen asleep with me in the room. We read and cuddle then usually she asleep doesn’t even notice me leaving if I time it right. I think there too much pressure on parents to have the child sleeping alone. And not needing comfort from either parent. I would sit with her longer read and book we have a Tonies box And we listen till she falls asleep. It’s been amazing she knows to pick a story and we listen together.
Mine has done the same starting this week! I've had to go in and hold his hand while he drops off! It's like he's terrified or something. I put it down to teething but not sure now
@Ru exactly the same as this! I can't understand it! It's horrible x
@Aysha hopefully it's just a phase! But I agree it is so exhausting!
@Athena that's lovely for you and your daughter 😊. I don't think that I feel pressured. It's more that naturally, my daugher got herself into a really good sleep routine from 4 months where she would settle herself and now suddenly, something has changed, which is why I was asking whether anyone had experienced something similar - in case it was a common regression. I would love to have the extra time to soothe and settle my little one, but I also have a 6 year old who also needs my attention and the little ones bedtime is the only time she gets...which makes it a little trickier. Obviously everyone's circumstances are different and nobody should feel that they are pressured into anthing... just have to do what they feel is best 👌
My son has started doing the same over the past week or so! And screams for me only. It’s exhausting and I have no advice but I’m hoping it ends soon 😩 it’s like he’s decided he hates his cot even though he loves his sleep. A few times I’ve had to leave him to cry because I had no idea what to do!
