Jayden has always been really good at sleeping. He always went to bed at 8pm and slept straight away and woke up at 8am in his bed. Now he refuses to go to bed and when we put him in there he gets out and starts screaming. So we end up having to hug him to sleep, which is really starting to annoy us. Some nights it can take up to two hours of holding him to get him to sleep. So instead of him sleeping at 8pm he sleeping at 10 or 11pm!!! :eek: Its really getting too much for us both. In the past i would put him to bed, then do the last of the house duties then watch some tv, have a shower then go to bed. Now by the time he goes to sleep i barely get a shower. :( Also when i get home from doing an arvo shift which is 10pm, instead of resting from work i have to put my son to bed. He also comes into our bed around 3-4am. So we are losing sleep as well. What has happened to my son, what can i do??? :crying: My DH isnt helping much now either. Last night i came home from an arvo shift and he woke up. So i ignored jayden crying while my DH puts him back to sleep and my DH was getting angry that i didnt help. Mind you he did the exact same thing to me a wk earlier and went to sleep and i had to put him to sleep around midnight. Anyway i gave in and took jayden into the lounge room. He layed with me for an hour not sleeping so i gave up and went to bed with jayden beside me. While this was all happening my DH went to sleep on my DS's bed!! :mad: It really upset me that he was angry i wouldnt help but then he just went to sleep himself. Anyway this is a long post. I need some help from you all. If you have any advice please assist!!!

After he goes to sleep at night time like 11pm do you let him sleep later or does he still get up at 8am.

It would probably help to wake him up at his usual wake time,that way he gets tired and goes to sleep earlier.Might help might not.

He mostly gets up at his usual 8am but on occasions will sleep until 10am.
