Please can anyone help??!!!
DD has been a great sleeper until Christmas. Since then she has been impossible to settle at night-time and has been refusing her afternoon nap (which was usually about 2 hours long).
I think it's because she got out of her routine over xmas ( we were staying with friends and family, and she doesn't sleep well away from home).
We've been persistently reinforcing her old routine and doing supernanny-style returning her to bed, but it's just not working. We have had limited success on nights when (in desperation) we've sat in her room with her til she sleeps, but she's cottoned on to the fact that we leave at some point, so that doesn't work anymore.
She's basically refusing to sleep until she's too exhausted to resist. She is sleeping for about 9 hours (max) a day/night (not even in one stretch as she's waking up during the night.
I also have a 5 month old DS, which makes daytime nap battles even more challenging.
Can anyone give me any advice? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaase????
