Sleep change
I’m struggling hard! My LO is 8 months he’s always slept in my bed but a couple of weeks ago we began to put him in his own room because he wasn’t sleeping well with me, first night was amazing he did so well but after that it’s gone down hill last night me and my partner was chilling downstairs we don’t get to see eachother a lot and my son was just not settling i was going up every 10 minutes and then that resulted in him coming downstairs to sit with us i feel like it’s pushing me and my partner apart because we’re getting no alone time anyone got any tips? we have a good bedtime routine that’s the same every night

Instead of bringing him downstairs when he cries, go into the room and gently rub his tummy or back while he’s still in the crib. Shush him softly to let him know you’re there, but don’t take him out. It might be tough at first, but bringing him downstairs teaches him that crying gets him what he wants. Remember, you’re the parent, and it’s important to stay consistent and keep him in his bed. He’ll eventually adjust, and things will get easier. It’s all about learned behavior—if you stick with the routine, he’ll come to understand and feel secure in it. That’s why a consistent bedtime routine is so important for little ones. Your doing great mama x

Have you tried putting him in his bed in your room first? And it could just be the change of environment and temperature as well, babies are clever like that they do realise. How long does it take for him to fall asleep? Could he be teething, is he hungry there arw a million different things, i know because of my now toddler, it is a phase and it will pass, you will get that time again with you and your partner
