This is definitely all my fault, when he was born, we coslept untill he showed signs that he wanted his own bed and space (around the age of 2) and up untill recently he's been sleeping fine alone, with the odd night where he is kind of spooked out but after a cuddle and a chat he is OK to go back to sleep. But lately, he will not settle, he starts off whining and asking me to sit with him for a few minutes, I sit and when I think it's OK to leave he starts crying and screaming. Yes easy solution is to give in and stay with him(which I've done a few times only for him to wake around 3am again and look for me again) but I don't think that is fixing the issue? Is that just showing him he can get whatever he wants if he screams and shouts? it is getting frustrating now, I am a single mom and I have multiple sclerosis, so sleep for me is vital, I am just at a loss, I used to think I was doing a good job untill now.
