What Is Going On with DS?
I don't know what to make of this. DS has been really good about going to bed at night. We got into a routine and he would go to his crib without fussing, generally. However, in the last couple of weeks he doesn't usually fight going upstairs, but when we get there, he wants to go to Mommy and Daddy's room, not his room. When I take him into his room, he holds me really tightly and says "Mama, Mama, Mama" and points towards my room.
When he wakes in the middle of the night or early morning, he usually does come to our room and bed, nurses back to sleep and then stays there until waking.
I thought that he might be scared of something in his room for some reason. So, last night, I looked behind the blind, under the bed, in the closet, etc. and showed him nothing was there. That seemed to help and he went to sleep. Tonight I tried the same thing and it didn't work at all. He screamed and screamed when I left the room, although only for a few minutes and then went to sleep.
I'm not sure what's going on with him. Any thoughts about the problem and how to correct it?
