Hii Tanya, I saw your memo about your son. I have a 2 year old daughter and we have been through the ups and downs of getting her to sleep. I just wanted to reassure you that travel definitely screws a baby up. Schedule and continuity has been our best stronghold. You will probably have to go through a couple rough nights of going in every 15 minutes that he is hysterical to reassure him that he is not alone and that you and Daddy love him. Tell him that when he is home he sleeps in his room, with his things, in his bed, etc... Also, I had experience with a Nanny who would lay down with my daughter at nap time, and that did not help us getting her down at night. You may want to talk to the Grandparents and have them follow (to the letter) the ritual that you follow. He will have to come around when he knows that is the way it is. I commend you on not letting him have his way, although sometimes it seems like the easiest answer. Just stick to your guns and ultimately he will see that your consistancy is a sign that you love him and want the best for him. Good luck. He was a good sleeper once, I sure he will be again.
