He used to sleep all night long, but a month ago mommy had to travel, because of work, and know he wakes up a lot.
At that time DS started crying at night, at grandma’s where he stayed, and when mommy felt guilty, and to compensate start to cuddle in parent’s bed to sleep….he started to grab mommy’s blouse and ask for her presence every time he wakes up at night…..
Please help, my husband and I, are very, very, tired…
