HI Girls,

Thanks for your replies! It has improved, slightly. We moved him into a junior bed, smallest size and he is quite happy with that. I still need to stay with him, preferably holding him untill he falls asleep, which can last up to 2 hours! But at least it keeps him from screaming and it makes going to bed less stressfull.
Then sometime during the night he wakes and crawls in to bed with us. He has had trouble falling back to sleep and even was quite distressed for an hour last week.

Thanks for "backing me up" I really needed that. Like I said earlier, I am definately the only one going for gentle parenting. Pils and dh reckon I am spoiling him. But I am sure gentle parenting is the way to go with this little man!
