Hello dear parents, my dd is almost 18 months and she has always been co-sleeping with me and my dh. I had a c-section with her and she is our first baby so it worked out perfectly fine for the three of us to co-sleep. She would always fall asleep in her cot and then she would sleep with us from about 5am. She has never been the best sleeper - she was not sleeping through the night until she was 9,5 months old and she sleeps much better in our bed so at least all three of us get a descent sleep. I managed to teach her to sleep in her room from about 10 months but then she had her immunisations done and felt poorly and was teething so we started taking her to our bed again. But now she is starting a nursery in a few weeks and I would love her to learn how to sleep in her own room and how to settle herself to sleep. She relies on me or my dh to rock her till she falls asleep. She wakes up at 4-5am so we take her to our room (when she is teething she wakes up even earlier at 1-2am and would not fall asleep unless we take her to the big bed). We have a very good bedtime routine: bath, book, milk, cleaning teeth, song and rocking. She has a soft bunny but she ignores it, she prefers me or dh to rock her and she loves touching my ears and face etc - I think it helps her to settle. She also has a good 2 hour day nap and a good routine. I cannot bear the thought of controlled crying but I want to teach her to sleep in her room entire night. I would be happy to hear any advice and perhaps some methods that worked for you? I tried putting her to bed when she is sleepy but awake and it didn’t work, she just went histerical. I know she is only waking up at night so we take her to the big bed and she falls asleep immediately in our bed. Thank you in advance and I thank you for taking time to read this long post.
