At my wits end and have run out of ideas. DH is upstairs with our wailing 3yo who is refusing to go to bed. Usual routine is I take her up, wash/teeth, story in bed then lights out. I have to stay with her until she falls asleep otherwise it's full on hysterical crying and getting very upset. She normally falls asleep with 10 mins.
For the last few weeks it's been all manner of excuses not go to bed and I've ended up losing my temper, with DH intervening. Tonight I told her I wasn't going to sit with her if she wasn't going to sleep, and I left the room. Cue lots of getting out of bed,coming out of the room and hiding in the corner when I try to put her back in bed. She's just getting more and more wound up.
DH has left her up there crying now. What's the answer? She normally co sleeps with us from 10ish, but there is no way she's starting off in our room.
