Harvey is STILL waking up at least once a night - usually more - and attempting to get into our bed.  I have been returning him to his bed for a month now and he wont let up.  Last night he was awake 5 times.  BTW he is 3 and a half!!! Unfortunately he goes to bed in our bed, yes I know this is the problem here!! But to get all 3 of them asleep before 8pm there didnt seem to be any other way.  They share a room and Jake doesnt want to be going to bed before half 7 and Harvey is an extremely light sleeper, Jake likes to read and do his own thing for abit and its not possible.  I feel bad for him, it must be so confusing but I couldnt see another way, I let him come into our bed for months as I knew it was my own fault he was coming in.  So anyway Harvey falls asleep in our bed and then Matt takes him to his bed once they're all asleep.

Anyway, I understand why the returning didnt work!! ::) Today I had a brainwave, Harvey is now in his own room!! Jake in his and Finn is back in our room ;D This suits me fine and I am hoping we will turn a corner very soon, Harvey fell asleep in his own room... unfortunately he's already been awake once!! LOL

Please pray/beg/send vibes and hope that tonight I get an interrupted night :-\ :-\ Im not hopeful tbh :-\ :-\

Good on you for tackling the problem - it might take a couple of days for him to get used to things so don't expect a huge change tonight.. but I hope that it works for you soon.

BTW Woo is almost 3 1/2 and he wakes virtually every night too...at least once sometimes twice, three times. He has never ever slept in our bed and actually doesn't like to cuddle up with us.. he stays in his room and shouts for me (never Rob he just likes to check we are still around somewhere I think.

Even understanding why doesn't help does it.. its hard work being mommy all day and then having to do it for half the night too...

Sweet dreams tonight xxxx

Thanks H :-* :-* :-*

Well he woke another 4 times last night between the hours of 3.30 and 5.30 and then I had to wake him at 8.00 this morning!! ::) ::)

Tonight he was quite upset about going into his own room and asked me to lay with him :-\ I did but left after a few minutes whilst he was still awake.  He told me to leave the door open and light on ::)

He's already been awake once... Im not feeling hopeful again :(
