My daughter (4 in May) has always been brilliant at sleeping. You just read her a story,and left her to fall asleep by herself, and then slept through until 8 the next morning.
A month ago she started being awkward about going to bed with lots of grizzling and crying and refusing to go to sleep unless we said goodnight about 5 times, and was taking an hour or so to finally go to sleep. Then in the early hours would wake up crying wanting another drink, wanting her dad, wanting a story, wanting mummy and causing a lot of grief. Tuesday night she was awake from 4am till 6 am, and last night it started at 2 am until we put her in my bed in desperation at 3.30.
Then a funny thing happened, after 15 mins in my bed I said 'Do you want to go back into your room?' , She said yes, tottered off back to her bed for 5 mins, then got up again, went into the bathroom, had a wee, went back to her bed andback to sleep ! Half an hour earlier she was screaming and refused to let us even shut her bedroom door
I just dont understand why after 3 .5 years of no problems at all this is happening now.
Any advice gratefully received !
