LO is 20 months and has always been a good sleeper. Recently we have been away on holiday, and have had few nasty bugs so he has been very unsettled at night. During those weeks we would just bring him into bed and that way we all get to sleep! (This was not standard behaviour - as an infant he never slept in our bed as he just wanted to toss & turn all night...)

Since he is no longer sick and we have been home for a few days now, I'm keen for him to stay in his cot and sleep on his own. But he is waking through the night screaming like a cat yowling!!

Is this common for this age group? Will I just be better off bringing him into bed & prolonging the process? Any similar stories out there?

Thanks in advance!
