my DD is 2. Since she was 3months old she's slept like a dream (bar illness etc), going to bed at 6.30/7pm and waking around 7am. She would happily be put in her cot in her own room after having her milk, babble to herself for up to an hour sometimes, then drift off. I recently went away and had to have her in a travel cot at the base of my bed for the week. Since I've come back things have been a nightmare. She won't go to sleep on her own anymore, screams until she almost wretches if I try the CC thing and so I've taken to staying in her room (not talking to her, just being there) until she drifts off. She's also waking at 5am crying and upset and her daytime nap is a misery too. I'm finding it very upsetting (eek and slightly annoying!) and don't know what to do. I also have another LO who's 6 months old her crying is waking LO up at 5am too. Should I try putting LO into the same room, as I'd planned to move him out of my room anyway soon? Maybe the company will help her sleep? Do I need to go hardcore on the CC even though I've read CC might do more harm than good?...
