Yeah he has a night light and yeah its EVERY night! But never thought about the fan make since me and his dad use one every night maybe its that! But I was also thinking about how my mil and sil and bil when they have him I tell them not to put pull ups on him because I just get him to quit peeing the bed and he will come back wearing one! Like they dont even try to hide that they dont listen to me! But anyway they tell me they do it so he dont pee there beds so I think maybe thats why he thinks he has to sleep with me because he sleeps with them!! But I know also if I ask them not to let him sleep with them ( just like with the pull ups) they will do it anyway!! Ugh family in laws!!!
Yeah I would try hard to nip it now before baby comes, could be worse then. Has he said why he comes in? Is there ever a night when he doesn't come in or is it literally EVERY night? Does he have a nightlight or some type of white noise that's on when he's sleeping...like a fan? I know I have a hard time getting back to sleep after waking if it's waaay to quiet!
We had this problem when i watched my nephews. Their parents work night shifts from 10pm to 7am and the youngest was 4 at the time and he always wanted to sleep in his parents bed because there was a tv in there and he was use to getting his way. So i made him start sleeping in his bed, we let him watch one movie before bed and if he snuck back into his parents bed then he lost games, tv and toys but since thats not working for you maybe you can try talking to him to find out why he is doing it, maybe he is afraid or something.
Maybe he is also getting jealous already, new baby on the way, everyone is talking about a new baby and he may already feel left out and just want your attention.
Chances are it won't cuz you will be occupied with the baby.. I would find a book on it.
Hes three so he can walk. But we never have let him sleep with us thats why I dont understand why he keeps doing this? Maybe because we got a bigger house and hes all the way on the other end of it? Idk but for a year now ive bbeen wakeing up in the middle of the night to put him back in bed and im sotierd of it!! Ive even got him a new big boy bed and a tv to watch a movie before bed. Ive tried to take away his game toys ugh.... Idk maybe it will stop when the baby comes.
I would put him back in his room but maybe put a gate up if he can't crawl over it. And be consistant in taking him back to his bed. If you have to do it 10 times...you have to do it 10 times. It might take you a week or two of lost sleep yourself but I bet you'll be soo happy you stuck through it!
I would never let my son sleep with us just because of this predicament!
