My 2 year old son screams for a video to watch(which is in our room) before going to sleep. He just cries and cries and cries.... if he doens't watch 'Nemo' or 'Ice Age' and this happens EVERY night.
We have tried books and a special toy to take to his 'big boy bed', i've even said that i will go to his room if he stays in our bed, and he just says 'bye'! When he has fallen asleep i carry him to his own room, but at some stage during the night he climbs back into bed between me and my husband.
He has been out of his cot for about 10 months as i wanted him in a 'big' bed for when our daughter was born, who is now 8 months.
He also refuses to have a daytime sleep, so i do put a video on for him in the afternoon and he is quite happy to lie there and watch it, some times he'll fall asleep, but not very often.
Do i need to just stop these videos? Its starting to really annoy us cause we don't get any time for 'us'!
