Hello, I'm new to mumsnet so I hope I'm doing this right. Basically I'm at my wits end!
Dd will only fall asleep at bed time if I'm laying on the floor next to her and (and I'm aware this is a little odd) if she is watching Katy Perry music videos. I have no idea why or how this started (blame dh).
Anyway I know that it is separation anxiety that's the problem and I've tried controlled crying which only makes it worse. I've tried waiting for her to nearly be asleep and they saying goodnight and leaving. Failed. Tried staying with her till she falls asleep then going to my own bed but she just wakes up constantly during the night shouting for Mummy or daddy. She doesn't ever come into our bed as I know that is probably not going to make matters any easier in the long run. I'm just fresh out of ideas and any suggestions would be sooo welcome! Spending my nights on the floor is not my idea of a good nights sleep.
