My 22 months old boy is a major fussy eater, bad temper smacks me and anyone near him if he gets angry...but he always been a good sleeper, he sleeps thru the nite for 11-12 hours and take 1.5 hour nap during the day....recently, for the last 2 weeks he suddenly changed, he wouldnt sleep unless I stay beside his bed, if i leave him he would climb out from his bed and just walk out of his room....the worst thing is once he fall asleep he keeps on waking up in the nite and check if i m still beside him, if i m not he would cry and climb out from his bed and look for me......it takes 4 hours everynite and 3 hours during the day to put him into sleep....I basically use 7 hours a day staying beside his bed and try to put him into sleep....I can tell that that he has been losing alot of weight coz he is not getting enough of sleep and nutricient from food too.......for the past 2 weeks he falls alsleep at 1am and wakes up at 4am, 6am, and 11am.....he nite time and day time schedule is all messed up now....I cant event take him to his regular playgroup from 3-4 class.....coz he has his lunch at 3pm and gets very tired and takes nap at 5 oclock.....what should I do!! Pls help me!!

Has anything changed recently including any changes with you.....environment, different people around, disapline tactics, any new stresses?

I am not sure if it is my helper or something else, but I started to notice that my boy dislike my helper who has been taking care of him 6 months ago, recently he doesnt want her to come near her, he would smack her whenever she touches him, my boy likes to hit ppl anyway, but recently he showed alot of hatred toward my helper. We ve been trying to discipline his behaviour of hitting ppl, but just seemed not working really well....I am not sure if it is my helper who has been rough on my boy when i m not around, but certainly can tell she is hasnt been nice to him thats why he hates her. Does this has anything to do with his sleeping behaviour??
