Waking at night

Hi everyone, ignore me if I make any spelling mistakes, I'm asleep! My little man is 15 months old and of late has been waking in the night around some nights once some twice, and will not settle by himself and then will not go to sleep until he's in bed with me. He's a real mummys' boy at the moment and only mum will do, I don't know if he's got new teeth coming through or just that he wakes and gets a fright, have thought about putting a night light back in his room (took it out when he was about 6 months old and then he starting sleeping through the night).
The door to his room is left open slightly so any light from in the hallway shines through - I'm only getting around 4 hours sleep each night now and I work full time - he seems to be fully alert! Any ideas?

He stopped having a bottle around 12 months, so it's not that - he's been very clingy to me the last 4 or 5 months, i mean VERY clingy, like he screams when I leave the room even when he's with his dad !

McKayla started waking again but that was due to an earinfection. Is he pulling on his ear at all perhaps? Did his molars came out yet?

I think the other mommies gave you great advice. Sorry dont really have advice myself. I co-sleep and get up and rock her if need be. But it is usually due to an illness that I have to do that.

Dont use too much paractemol. My sister was given at the nightcreche each night to sleep and she ended up being addicted to it and almost died one night due to breathing problems. Till this day she has some learning issues. My dad was furious when he found out what they did.

So I am not a fan at all in giving paracetmol for just in case. He will be pulling on his ears or rubbing it if it is ear related. Otherwise just use bonjela in his mouth for teeth.
