What am I supposed to do?

I have a chair next to my DDs bed, and DH or i sit next to her until she falls asleep. Sometimes it only takes a few minutes, other times it is much longer (almost 2 hours last night). I hope to eventually change to staying til she is settled and then leave and go back and check on her, but i don't think we are there yet.

If you have just moved your little one, he might need reassurance for a few nights and then be ok with going to sleep again.

I would stay with him too. The change could just be unsettling him, once he knows it's all ok I'm sure he'll settle himself more easily

You do what you feel good with chick.

DS has never slept in a cot, but he has gone into his own bed this year. I sit at the end of the bed. Usually only takes a few minutes. We have the same convo every single night. "You sit with me mama?", "I always sit with you", "You get you book and sit with me." So I do. Often I'm there long after he's fallen asleep lol.

They're only little for such a short time.
