It’s an adjustment phase, we moved to a bed at 18 months due to climbing, and it took a few weeks to go back to mostly independent sleep like he had been. We gradually moved from sitting in bed,to beside the bed, to halfway across the room, to by the door and then outside the door over 2/3 weeks I believe. It will settle
This happened to us when we changed it’s a big adjustment took us a good few weeks . It’s just a phase x
When we transitioned our daughter at Christmas she started waking earlier and earlier so we got a smart bulb in her room and set a timer. She’s not allowed out her room in the morning until 7am she now naturally sleeps until 7 again.
We haven’t changed to a bed yet but think we’ve started the 3 year sleep regression, and I need to stay with my son until he falls asleep, so could be a combination of regression and bed change, hopefully gets easier soon ❤️
