Whilst she's never been a great sleeper, I am now in the position where DD2 wakes every night, anytime between 11pm and 4am. There seems to be nothing disturbing her to wake her nor any pattern to the waking. She pads into our bedroom, to wake me. I silently get up, take her back to bedroom, and resettle her. 9 times out of 10 this works, but occasionally (as last night) she lies awake for an hour or more. As long as there is someone in the room she is quiet, and eventually falls asleep again.
On speaking with her to determine why she wakes and disturbs me, I am told that it's because it's dark. We have addressed this by buying a fairy nightlight, to 'look after' her whilst asleep. Hasn't worked.
Any other ideas of how to break this habit?
TIA
