My 2-year-old has always been a bad sleeper, but lately he’s consistently up from 1 a.m. to about 2:30 a.m., and we’re at a loss. Letting him cry it out takes forever , and it hasn’t changed the behavior. He wants to sleep in bed with us or have me sit on the floor in his room while he falls asleep. If I felt like something was wrong, I would do it! And maybe something is wrong because he consistently can’t sleep? But I’m seven months pregnant, and we have to get this sorted before baby No.

Which leaves me with the most important question of all: Can your partner take this on, leaving you with a nice set of earplugs?How long is it “OK” to let my 22-month-old have tantrums when she’s upset? She’s recently discovered she has feelings about things and can describe them.
