Son wakes up every night

My son has been waking up every single night. He always comes to my room and every night I have to put him to bed. It can happen 2/3 times a night and I mean it when I say that it’s every night. I can’t take it anymore. I’m tired and in need of sleep, specially because I have a 9 month old baby as well. Any suggestions? He keeps saying that he’s scared of the dark or that there may be something at the door or on his bed. I don’t know what made him start thinking that there may be something but I need him to sleep in his room without waking me up.

Nightlights? I have one cus I’m scared of the dark or just let him stay, mine has been in the bed with me from 9 months old. I also have a 3 month old in her crib next to my bed

My son started being scared of the dark last year and I got him one of those astronauts that were all over TikTok, seems to of done the trick, We also reviewed what he was watching on YouTube/Netflix etc as some of it would show up in his dreams and scare him x

Get him a night light it will help it’s ok for him to be afraid of the dark that’s why he’s coming into you for comfort

I keep my daughters door half open and hall light on

@Katie louise I have a nightlight but it doesn’t help. I’ve tried letting the big light on in his room and it actually worked. I just wish he could sleep with just the nightlight on

@Millie thanks, I’ll try to buy one and surely review what he’s watching as I bet it may be one of the causes

@Stephanie he’s got one but it’s not really helping him. It helped just the first night he had it and that’s it.

@Tash will also try that Thank you 🙏

@Chrystine try the astronaut one of TikTok shop it’s amazing you could also try sleep stories or calming music
