Help.
helpful advice please.
my daughter still wakes through the night. She is ten years old. I have barely had a solid nights sleep since she was born.
she was never a fussy baby, but would wake for feeds.
her father and I separated when she was a baby and from about age 4-8 we had shared care, 70%nights to me.
as a toddler through till about 8 years old she would wake with nightmares.
at 8 she stopped staying overnight at her dads (various reasons).
in the last couple of years the nightmares have settled to barely ever - but still, every night she wakes up to go to the bathroom and is too scared to go by herself so shouts for me to get up to take her.
I am shattered. I work full time and have her 100% of the time.
i leave the landing light on at night, make sure she weed before bed and don’t provide water for an hour before bedtime, but still the waking up to use the bathroom.
im reluctant to just ignore her till she goes by herself as it’s been a long road of recovery from the nightmares and I don’t want her to go backwards…..
please no judgement I just want helpful advice.
