Hi Mitch. As the other mums have said . . . you are not alone! What is it about 2am huh? My son has always been a shocking sleeper - slept through for the first time last week (14 mths old!!), did it 3 times hasn't done it again!

Only wanted to say that sleep schools aren't in the least bit gentle. All they will advise you is to let your bub cry it out, they don't (in my limited experience) seem to have any other options.

The only suggestion I can make is to take him into your bed. That way everyone gets some sleep. Kai used to be in our bed by 10:30, but he has slowly gotten used to sleeping on his own and only comes in about 5ish (usually!) If your little one is scared . . . it will be sooo comforting to have mom and dad right there.

Good luck and remember . . . "this too shall pass"!!!
