We had the same problem for Lele

as we are training him to sleep alone on the cot, for the time being, instead of his mum I am sleeping with him together at nights.

The first night was very hard as he kept crying for his mum. I was so annoyed and then went out of the room, telling him: all right, please cry.

He was so scared for staying in the room alone, so Lele ran to me and said, don't leave, don't leave.

Ok, I said, listen, now you have two options:

CRY, or SLEEP, which one you want?

he said, sleep.

So we went back to the bed and he got into sleep in one min!

From then he is more and more independent.
