“Hi I was just wondering if you or any mums out there may have any advice for me about my son who turns 2 on Thursday. For the past couple of months he has gone from being the perfect sleeper to being terrified of going to bed alone. He will sleep all night and isn’t scared when he wakes up or if he does in the night whether at home or having a sleep over at the grandparents place but when he goes to bed he makes you lie down with him to sleep. If you leave he cries but not just a little cry its a distressed cry, but if you stay he just plays games. Night is the only time I have to study and run my business or spend time with my husband and this is eating into it a lot. We are planning to have another child and so this can’t keep going. He has a musical toy and a star turtle light as well as a night light incase he wakes up but isn’t afraid of the dark and reacts the same way with or without these. He has his Ted, we read stories and he knows when he’s tired and waves to his dad and drags me into the room to go to bed. We’ve tried the let him cry and he does go to sleep that way after a while but he is clearly terrified. Last night he latched onto my hand wouldn’t let go and said mumma every now and then to check I was still with him this lasted a couple of hours. He has always slept in his own room without us or any assistance. His anxieties are now showing in his swimming lessons and won’t let go of me or be separated from me but has always loved swimming. I just want to help him but don’t know how. Any advice would be appreciated”
