My daughters sleep

[pinkprincess1988]

I have a 3 & a half year old daughter who keeps waking in the night. She slept through the night from a few months old and the last couple of months she has been waking once or twice a night. I wouldnt mind so much if she went back to sleep after but she will scream and scream because i wont give her what she wants for example juice or chocolate. We have a baby and a 5 year old boy who are getting woken up from her. Im trying to find advice on getting her back to sleep with out all the screaming. Its different times every night as we have tried to pin point if something is waking her but it always different. Thanks

is she warm enough? just a thought.

Perhaps you could give her a cup of water to keep by her bed and tell her very clearly before bedtime that water is the only thing children are allowed to have in the night because of their teeth, etc. Then offer her the water if she wakes and screams, but be very clear on that point. It might distract her from asking for other things.

I would imagine it's not a need for chocolate that's waking her up, but perhaps once she knows that nothing interesting is going to come of making a fuss, she might just go back to sleep, or at least make less noise while you're leading her back to bed.
