I'm an old time mommy with marrieds and my baby is 10 years old. I will admit that I baby'd him a long time and put him to sleep ever since he was born. How do I stop it? I Baruch hashem don't need to lay with him in the same bed until he falls asleep anymore but I do lay in the other bed next to him LOL

He is anxious to be alone in the room. I sometimes do leave the room but assure him That I'll stay upstairs on the same floor as his room. He clearly is anxious to stay alone in the room but I leave anyway. And stay upstairs until he sleeps or until I think he does LOL

How can I get him to be less anxious? I don't have more kids in the house to be upstairs instead of me.
He also has a very late bedtime. And I won't reveal to you how late that is. Because I can't lock myself into the upstairs earlier.
I am at the end of my rope. I used to have kids going to sleep at the same time so they had each others. Things are different with a mezinikl.
