Issues with sleeping

[MissFenella]

DD2 is 33 months and has been in care since 16 months.

I know FC co-slept (against SW instruction) and DD is obviously demanding the same level if comfort from us. It's just not practical for me to spend all night in DD room when I also have her sister to parent.

It's early days (week 2) and I just want to do what's best for both dds. It's not every night, only 2 occasions so far but I want to comfort her and assure her as well as having a solid routine and boundaries in place IYSWIM.

How's it going, MissF?

well we have continued to do what we feel is right and the last 2 nights have been unbroken sleep with no fuss or drama getting to sleep.

I have been reading DD books my mother read to me - and explained so, this means I love reading them (and can for a long time) and she feels a little connection. It seems to be working!

Lots of love and cuddles in the day (and nail painting?!) and she doesn't seem visibly stressed or worried.

Sounds great, MissF, really glad to hear it

That's sounds encouraging.

Glad its going so well, keep trusting your instincts.

Hi All,
I am a long term lurker on this topic-I was adopted 46.5 years ago as a tiny 7 lb 5 week old baby. I think that if I could remember being a newly brought home little girl I would have wanted my new mummy close to me when I needed her not to have her being advised by some clueless SW to be "establishing boundaries"
missfenella carry on doing what you think-as her mummy (and daddy)-is right and you cant go wrong.....
good luck to you both
