Our dd is 21 months old and has been very good going down at bedtime. She has a good bedtime routine and at the end of it, we could just lay her down in her cot and she'd quickly fall asleep.
One night last week, she was unwell in the middle of the night and I cuddled her to sleep sitting in a chair in her room. Since then, she's demanding to be cuddled to sleep in the chair every evening. If we resist, she'll constantly scream "mummy chair" and will eventually get hysterical. She will only sleep in the cot after she falls fast asleep in the chair, which can take over an hour.
It's exhausting and frustrating. We don't know what to do, especially because she used to be so good at bedtime.
Has this happened to you and if so, what did you find helped?
Thanks
