Who sleeps with there bad sleepers

[Bedsheets4knickers]

Dd 2.4, v high maintenance . Eats barely can't actualy understand how she isn't in the grips of starvation and lately sleeping rubbish. I know what she wants , I know we'l all sleep better if I just let her in with us. Im it one for co-sleeping my son gas the odd night but with her close to waving the white flag. Wwyd

Their, not, has

DD(7) slept in our room in her own cot/bed until she was 6. Good sleep for everyone. She was a poor eater too, but we were very strict about meals & finishing up her plate...no matter how long it took - even if she were the last one left downstairs. She started eating much better around age 7. Until then it was an utter pain to feed her.

I would say - do whatever gives you all some good sleep - if it means being in the same room sometimes. But am not in favour of co- sleeping as I think it causes more disturbance to all parties & less space too.

Did you enforce the plate clearing at 2 years my daughter just point blank mouth clamp refuses

To be honest if I could get a vegetable down her she could sleep in our bed every night Id be so happy.

6yo DD hops in with me a couple of times a week. She stopped sleeping well around 2 . 6yrs.

I suppose I tolerate it because it's not every night. mostly she mucks about or reads I'm her room. But if she's still unsettled by 9:30 then tbh I give up and let her come into my room, especially if it's a work night and I need to rest. she generally drops off quite quickly once there and sleeps well after that.

Ds is crap sleeper and eater. He comes in with me periodically but it drives me mad as he likes to sleep wrapped around my head like a cat, and for me to goto bed with him at 7pm. If he would stay in his own bed till I went up and then kept to his own side I would just move him permanently in with me.

On the food front I take the completely opposite approach to the pp and totally ignore his eating habits. He can get down from the table when he's finished - but can't then return to the table to snack, and doesn't get to eat between meals. I give him what he thinks is normal juice but is really vegetable juice. I also make him ice lollies out of fruit.

To be honest though he actually enjoys vegetables and fruit, but the only other thing he will eat is fish fingers and sausages. Oh. And chicken nuggets if I tell him they are fish fingers!
