MP, when W wakes at night there are only two options - caving to whatever he wants (someone to sit in there with him atm) or a 1-2 hour tantrum. There is no reasoning- no bribes, no threats work. Very frustrating. I had him going really well a few weeks ago when he would come in to my room for a kiss and cuddle then put himself back to bed. But that stopped happening for whatever reason so we have decided to give in and sit with him again
A only has the phenergan when we are desperate, like after she has had a couple of nights of 5 or 6 hard to resettle screaming nights and everyone needs some sleep. I hate to do it and it isn't ideal but I am going to lose it if I don't get at least a few hours of sleep.
Have tried DH doing all the resettles, but he actually has to physically hold her down while she screams hysterically for me and she can go for close to an hour (and wakes DS, who then has his own tantrum!!).
DaintreeDream, it's you and me both hoping for some magic fix in the very near future! Good luck xx
Alish, no space in our room for another bed. Also, I really don't like them in our room - I have them with me all day long and need a bit of space from them. I find having them in my room is like living at your workplace, I have co-slept with both kids when they were little but it isn't good for my head space.
