Hugs mummaT - we put ds1 in a bed at around 20months of age and what we did was same routine before going to bed (dinner, shower and books with milk in our room) then we walk to his room and I put him on the bed ( he lies over doona, doesn't like being under covers lol. And then I say good night and sit in a chair at his door. He does come out sometimes but I just ignore him as long as he doesn't come out past his door. If he does I take him by the hand and return him to bed with no interaction at all. I use to give him a kiss and hug but he would come out a million times lol. I find the no interaction must be boring for him and he doesn't come out much at all.
Some nights it does take 30mins to be able to leave the door but other nights it's 10mins.
