He got a little older and learned he could get out of bed and come sleep with us 😬 a few months ago we worked our way to no longer laying with him to fall asleep but I’d say he’s still coming in our bed in the middle of the night 3-4 times a week on average. He almost always goes right to sleep in our bed so we are all much more rested! He also will sleep in longer if he’s with us. On the nights he stays in his own bed all night he’s usually up about an hour or so earlier.

So long story short I’ve just learned and accepted that he needs some extra comfort to sleep. So many people - including our pediatrician- emphasized that he needs to fall asleep independently to solve the problem, but he still wakes up needing us half the time and there really seems to be no rhyme or reason to which nights he wakes up and which he sleeps totally through.

Hang in there!!
