Going slightly mad, until age of 3 dd was a brilliant sleeper since 4m.
At 3 we moved house and ds was born. Fair enough that her sleep would be disrupted but she's a nightmare for getting up/shouting us multiple times a night.
We were letting her sleep on the futon in ds bedroom as she would doze off in there whilst we were settling him to sleep. However we've put her back in her own room now as we feel it's best to be consistent and ds still wakes u at night approx half the time, sometimes (as to be expected!) screaming his head off!
Last night she crept in at 2.30am asking to come in with us so we put her back in her bed and I aly and stroked her for 2 mins, then she shouted me again and she wanted some milk which I gave to her. then she chnaged tack and shouted "daddy!" x 2 saying she'd lost her comfort rabbut thing (she hadn't).
It's clear she's feeling anxious/unsettles about something it's just how to remedy it.
She's not consistently like this, she has periods of a few weeks long where she'll sleep through without interruption.
I think she'd like ds to go in with her in his cot which we're contemplating, it's just her room is a pink fairy princess palace and his little room is a lovingly decorated nursery and he seems to really love being in there!
Any advice?
