I don't know what to do.
It's since we put her in a big girls bed.
She was getting up and coming into us at 6.30ish, then it became 6 and then we decided to put a gate up at her door.
Then she got up at 5.30 and would sit at the gate and call out, moan, cry a bit etc so we'd eventually bring her into bed with us. I guess that was wrong, but anything for a bit of extra sleep.
Then it got to be 5am and not this morning it was 4.30 and [droppy eyed tired emoticon]
We left her until 6.30 when we couldn't bear it and bought her in and she watched milkshake at the end of the bed while we tried to get a last half hour.
We're doing it wrong I know but I don't know what to do.
Her room is dark but my plan is to make it as dark as possible, no chinks of light, and hopefully that'll help a bit but what until then, what do we do?
She did a full day at nursery yesterday and she was suffering having been up since 5am.
She napped yesterday straight from nursery at 4pm until 6.30. Went to bed at 8.30 as wasn't tired or ready until then and I stupidly thought it might mean she'd sleep later, huh!
I'm pregnant and really suffering with tiredness and that feeling of nausea anyway and this is just making life impossible. I have work in an office and manage client accounts all day and by 3pm I'm wretching in the loos and can barely struggle through the day with the feeling of total exhaustion.
What shall I do with her at 4.30 / 5 am etc?
D thinks just keep her door shut but I don't like the feeling of trapping her in there, I'd rather just keep her behind the gate and do my best to ignore her moans until a decent time, 6.30/6.45 would be okay. But is that the right thing to do?
Any advice wuld be sooo gratefully receeived.
I will also trawl through this section which is new to me and see if anyone else has a 3.5 yr old that is doing this to them, but am so desperate wanted also to stat my own thread, hope that's ok, thanks girls.
