My almost 2year old has always been a great sleeper. She was even at the point where she would take herself to bed and not make a peep until breakfast. A few weeks ago, she had just gone to bed and so wasnt deep asleep, I accidentally set of the smoke detector (bad cook here). It took me about 5mins to turn it off and when it was, I heard my daughter crying hysterically. I changed her down and she fell asleep. But, from that day on, she gets really upset as soon as I put her in bed, it goes from zero to full blown tears right away, like she is scared of the bed. The first thing she's saying when she wakes up Is "bell gone now daddy" and when I tried talking her she said she is scared of bell. Now, I have to sit in the room with her until she goes off, and if she wakes in the night, as soon as she gets up in the morning, she starts crying for mummy and daddy. I just want to claim and reassure her everything is ok and get her back to enjoying bedtime. I changed her cot into a day bed and that worked for two nights, then back to bell bring an issue. I just wondered if anyone thought it may be a phase, or anything I can do to help her relax about bed time again.
