As much as I hate the phrase, we have made a real rod for our backs with our toddler dd and her sleep habits. She has just turned 2 and never slept in her own room. She started in a crib next to our bed and then a cot. She will happily nap/go down at night in there but 99% of the time she wakes at some point during the night hysterically crying until we put her in bed with us. The problem is she then wriggles, kicks and keeps us up most of the night and wakes for the day at 5am. We are shattered.
I'm not against co sleeping, at times it's actually been really nice but now it is becoming too much and none of us are sleeping well. I know I need to transition her into her own room but I just feel like the pattern will continue and we will either end up doing the exact same thing or one of us will end up getting in a single bed with her.
I can't have her being so hysterical in the night, she doesn't self settle and she would wake my other dc up.
Does anyone have any tips about the best way to do this? I'm not too worried about her settling first off, it's the middle of the night wake ups that will cause the problem. Help!
