Our almost 3 year old has suddenly begun waking at night. He about 1 month ago moved into a toddler bed and was doing an amazing job. After the holiday's he now wants his bum patted to sleep and wakes up from 12am onwards wanting me to pat him back to sleep and i have to be there when he wakes or he comes to the roon crying. Anyone else going.through this? How do you deal?

Im so exhaustedill do anything for some sleep at this point.
