We never had a kid in the room or in the bed. I will admit we were horrible about putting them back to bed with a bottle or sippy cup because that is the only thing that would work.

Good luck. Hopefully this will pass soon.

It never really bothered either of us to have them in our bed at night. You see, we came to the realization that we didn't stop being parents just because the sun went down at night. So, in order for us to save our sanity and get some much-needed sleep, we let them get into bed with us. And we still do.

Now, only our last 3 children ever were in the habit continuously. Sam only gets into our bed now on a very rare night - he seems much more contented in his big boy bed than he ever was in his crib.

Psychologically, around the age of 18 mos, they begin to have dreams that make sense to them and sometimes, it is a little hard for them to transition with at night. That might be his problem. Other children are aware around that age of urinating, so they are aroused slightly and can become out of sorts because of it.

Personally, I don't see a problem with sharing sleep - but that is a personal thing to adjust to. With some families it works and with others, it doesn't. I say, get sleep how and when you can.

Good luck -

J
