Hello
My toddler (23 months old) has started some unusual behaviour at sleep time (naps and bedtime). He has gone to bed as usual with same routine and no fuss, but will then sit in the corner of his crib for hours. It started only at bedtime, but it is now happening at nap time too.
Initially I was just leaving him and he would eventually bend at the waist and fall to a lying position. However, when it began pushing 9:30PM I started going in an rocking him. Within 2 minutes of rocking he would be fast asleep. I have now started to rock him if he is not sleeping within an hour.
He schedule is 7:30pm-7am, with a nap at 1pm. After sitting there at naps and finally being rocked to sleep at 2pm he will sleep for at least 2 hours. I will always wake him if still sleeping at 4pm (which happens to be most days) because of concerns that bedtime will be effected.
Anyone have any ideas as to why he might be sitting for so long? He looks so lonely and sad
My worry is that he might for some reason be scared to go to the sleep? Is this possible so suddenly?
Thanks for any ideas.
