My DS hated bedtime. I was told to CC by everyone. I refused to. So I didn't get any help or understanding because it was my problem for not CCing.

I now have a child who runs to the bathroom when I sing him The time has come to say goodnight... and is reaching for the sink to clean his teeth by at the end of a lovely day. Post bath, he runs to his room and tries to climb into his cot! We're taking the sides down early next year - assuming his sleeping stays pretty decent - so that he can climb in. Once in his bed, he snuggles down on the pillow, pulls his covers up over him and tucks himself in! This was literally an overnight thing; after 2 weeks away, DH asked me where his son was and what had I done to get this new child!

Before that, he would scream going to sleep some nights. In our arms, in his bed, in our bed, with us there, without us there, changing parents over, he was tired but just wouldn't sleep. He wouldn't play either, he WANTED to sleep but just screamed. And he was so whingy in the day. He was not very fun, I'll be honest. But what else could I do? He wasn't going to not scream going to sleep or all through the night.
