Getting my 22 month old to sleep in his cot..?

This might not be the right answer but I'd let him just fall asleep with you. Tell him before he sleeps that once he goes to sleep you'll put him in his own bed (so he;s not freaked out to wake up somewhere else) but if he wakes in the night he can come to your bed ( so he knows he's not trapped in his room). This will at least get him used to waking up without you. My kids sleep with me when daddy is out of town. It started a whole ordeal when daddy comes home but it's just something I'm willing to put up with until they want to sleep on their own. Chose your battles wisely. Good luck.

Sorry, but it is time for tough love! You say when you leave him he cries and won't stop. That has been the case for 90% of parents ever. You have to be mean, mean, mean! The only way is full-on, committed, cold turkey. Pick a day when you are going to start, and stick to it. No matter how much he cries, you don't give in. If he stands up, or tries to get out of bed, go back in, lay him down again, tell him it is time for sleep, then go again. Be calm but firm. Be prepared for the first night to be a nightmare. And the second. And the third. But eventually it will get easier and pretty soon you will have your evenings back to spend with your boyfriend. I can't stress enough how hard it will be for the first few nights, but you have to keep a clear head and stick with it. Do not give in, or else you will have to start the whole process over again. Make sure you and your boyfriend are working to the same plan every night. oh, one last thing: think of a good time to do it, ie don't pick a week where there is a lot going on, or a big week at work or whatever. You are gonna be stressed and high-strung for a few days!! good luck

My son is now 27months old. from the age of about 16 months he wouldnt go to bed after being a very good sleeper. He would climb out of his cot. By the age of 21 months he had a big boy bed because it was unsafe for him to be climbing off of his cot. From the first night in the bed he has stept really well. It might be worth trying it with your son. Hope all sorts it self out i KNOW how hard it is.

Get him a new single bed. If you do not own one try to buy it attractive for him. Then if he wakes up during the night you could go near him till he sleeps. He will not be spoiled because he comes into your bed, do not worry. They grow, as when you used to hold him, now he can walk. He will not sleep with you forever.

My son is 27 months, he sleeps till 1.oo in then crys. I get him in our bed happily, he is so cuddling.

I am not worried at all, I have a nine year old daughter. She sleeps in her own bed, do not worry, and it was like that with her also.

I wouldn't put the babe in your bed. Don't start a bad habit. Put your child in their bed and put a gate up. That way when he gets up he won't be roaming around. Crying isn't going to kill him. Just make sure he doesn't need anything.
