We've had a few disturbed nights sleep the last few weeks. Charlie is proving to be incredibly stubborn about drifting of to sleep without endless cuddles - the alternative is non-stop hysterical screaming, to the extent he wretches just short of throwing up!
It also seems to have become a habit for one or both of them to wake at around 11pm - usually just at the time we're settling down to sleep ourselves!
Tricks we've used to remedy the situation include grabbing a mattress from another room and one of us sleeping on the floor between their cots whilst letting them nuzzle up to our hands through the bars, having a quick night time cuddle in the chair or (shock horror) actually letting them come and sleep in bed with us! We're trying so hard to resist this last one as we know it's a slippery slope to tread!
I'm sure it's 'just a phase' but it's proving to be a sleep sapping phase we could without....
