Why is our 21 month old son still waking up in the middle of the night?

Question

Our 21 month old son has always slept in his bed untill recently. He has been waking up every night for the past 2 weeks. I change his diaper if it needs it then try to put him back in his room. After placing him there he starts to scream and wake up his brother that he shares a room with. He also wakes up his old sisters as well. I don't want him to get into the habbit of wanting to sleep with us. What are we to do? We need to resolve this before the new baby arrives..HELP!!

Answer 1

My nineteen month old did the same thing until we changed his crib into a bed.Now he sleeps just fine.My suggestion is if he sleeps in a crib maybe consider getting a bed for him,but they all wake a few times in the night.If he wakes then lay down with him and get him to go back to sleep then leave the room after he falls back to sleep.My son is now getting his top fang teeth so he has been kinda off a bit.Good luck and hope my experience helps.

Answer 2

Don't get him out of his room in the first place. Move his brother to the floor of his sisters' room until you can get the issue resolved, put a box fan in the girls' room for some white noise, put a fan in his room, too, and the issue will resolve itself.
