Separation anxiety
My son (19m) has recently become VERY attached to me, so much that he wants no one else near him, he's also suddenly started waking up at 1-2am and then will absolutely refuse to go back to sleep, crying flinging his arms in the air and I'm so tired! Tried everything from night lights, cuddling him, sitting with him and stroking his head, telling him its bedtime and walking out but whatever I do as soon as I move he just screams and cries- Any advice 😭

@Meghan oh bless you, that's so difficult you're a super mum haha! I have heavily debated it soo many times but then I'm worried it'll make him worse but I cant stand to see him upset so hard
It’s hard..we have also been having chats with our local health visitor to help with sleep! But i just remember being told go with what she wants if i have to get in with her to get her back to sleep thats fine, its not going to be forever xx
@Meghan okay thank you so much for the advice!!
@Meghan this is what we are doing! We have a floor bed so one of us just goes in and cuddles him. He goes back to sleep very quickly when next to one of us. It’s just a phase. And the cuddles are nice xx

We also hit this stage, im 40wk pregnant and it’s exhausting!! I just get into the cot with her and go back to sleep and she cuddles into me and will fall asleep too!
