Help with toddler night time sleep!

My son does not cry for hours but he has started to struggle at night and want to come sleep with us or wants me to sleep with him. No advice really, so far being honest with him and telling him we sleep in our bed and he sleeps in his bed has been enough. He has seemed to have nightmares the last 2 nights so have to figure that out. I am just worried bc i am due any day now with #2. Sending positive vibes.

Your child needs reassurance that you love her and that having another baby doesn’t mean you will love her any less- you need to tell her what a big girl she is and that she’s going to be the best big sister and she’s going to teach the baby so many things like how to play and draw (or whatever she’s best at/most interested in) and how when baby is a little bigger she will teach them how to be big and sleep in their own bed just like she does. You need to let her know that you are so proud of her and that you understand that it’s sometimes a bit scary when we don’t know how things are going to be but reassure her that mommy and daddy still and always will love her and spend time with her.

You also need to ensure that you are spending time where you are just focused on her and what she wants to do- if you’re always talking about the baby then she might feel like she’s being replaced or pushed aside.
