My son was like that as well. I have been practicing attachment parenting since birth and found that this is so much better for all of us. My son is also very sensitive and I feel he needs more from us. At nap/bed time, I lay with him until he falls asleep. Sometimes we cuddle, read or just lie there. It seems to help him relax and get into a deep sleep. He does not wake up at night or cry. If he happens to wake up, he just calls me. He's now 2.5 but I have been doing this as long as I can remember. I know it must be stressful with another baby on the way but he might need just a little more time. I do not believe in the cry it out method. It kills me and I see no sense in my son crying until he can barely breath. It seems cruel to me. If my son needs extra care and comfort from me, that's what I'm here for. Don't feel bad for loving your kids. It actually helps them be more self confident and independent in the long run. Good luck to you and congrats on baby #3!!!
