hi i know yet aother sleep problem i think they should do a sleep problem forum and

im on here to get some advice our lo is now in hi own bed and has been for 3/4 months but unfortunatly he wakes up between 1am and 4am and ends up in our bed s he wont go back to sleep and shares with his 5 year old sister, we then went to health visitor to see wot we could do and she said because he falls asleep on us he is waking and wandering where we r although this is true he does open his eyes when i lay him down so he is aware kind of that je aint with me so she said to start putting him in bed awake we did this last couple of nights and unfortunatlye he has cried so much he has made himself violently sick which we dont like as he dont eat much as it is so im really stuck as to wot to do.

we did think he was only waking cos he was hungry but since told differant not sure how to go about things i dont have a problem with him going to sleep in my arms but if it is the reason he wakes up then it aint good so please help

Maybe you need to do this in a staged way. First sit on the bad with him until he sleeps, then next to the bed but still stroking his hair, then next to the bed not touching (maybe reading a story) and so on. I have no real experience of this but I feel his first step is learning to fall asleep in his own bed (and not on you) before he feels safe enough to fall asleep totally on his own. Hope you find a way to make this work. Good luck.

hi nessellis thanks for advice but unfortunatly this is how we hae been doing it but he screams with us there and makes himself sick
