Thanks so much girls. There really isnt anything more we can do to his room. We bought this house late last year and painted his room and did it all up. So its really nice and colourful with lots of toys. He also has a heater to keep him cosy. I think bottom line is that he is used to sleeping with us, so that feels right to him. I might take your advice and just sleep with him in his bed for a little while so that he gets comfortable in there. Fingers crossed for me!! Will let you know how it goes.
when i had my DS i was dead against co sleeping for this very reason.. he was 2 hours old when we first co slept
he will be 5 in sept and our DD will be 3 next month. both still come in to our bed at some point in the night. BUT both go to bed SO easily now compared to when we were trying to force the issue.
i think having a chat with DH why he is so upset by it all? he needs that comfort.. and surely there are other times you (as a couple) could attend to your relationship
The book the "no cry sleep solution" has some really lovely gentle ways of transitioning babies/toddlers to their own beds/rooms after co-sleeping. I intend on using some of those when we move our little one to her own cot.
