Waking up at night and not going to sleep?

Ka

Anyone else struggling with sleep right now? Jaxson has been going through a phase that seems like it's lasting forever of taking forever to fall asleep at night and then waking up multiple times a night until I finally bring him in our bed. He says he's scared, or he needs water, or he needs to go potty, or just won't let me leave until he falls asleep. Then he wakes up and freaks out until I come get him. He'll fall back asleep but eventually I just bring him in our room because I'm so exhausted after going in 2 or 3 times I give in. I don't know how to get him back to falling asleep on his own or not being scared but it's killing me 🥲 My husband says "just let him cry" but he'll just scream for me over and over and say "I'm scared!" Which breaks my heart. I know it won't last forever so I give into his cries. We've given him a flashlight, we check for monsters, he sleeps with a ton of stuffed animals, we reassure him he's safe, etc. Nothing works. 😔
