Twin girls. When we first brought them home they slept in the same room as us for a few weeks. They then started to sleep through the night and we moved them to their joint nursery. 8 months later, we had to split them up as one liked a light room, and the other pitch darkness.
The girl we moved didn't much like being on her own but she settled and slept well for years.
Until now. Recently, as we finish the stories and tuck her in, she's been telling us she's lonely at night. She wants one of us to sleep in her room or she wants to join us in our bed.
We talk with her and tell her over and over how much we love her and how she's never alone in the house and she usually settles. But it's still quite upsetting for everyone.
She's a real poppet (unlike her hellraiser sister!), so this "I'm lonely" thing is a bit heartbreaking. I thought we were over the sleep problems. Silly me. Any advice?
