My DD has been a great sleeper from 6 weeks. She is now 4. We have had problems in the last 2 or 3 months of getting her asleep. This presents in the following ways
- Getting very upset if we close the door to her room(so it’s left open)
- Very upset if one of us does not stay upstairs while she goes asleep (so one of us now stays upstairs until she’s asleep)
- Requires the light in the hall on to sleep (which keeps her awake)
- Keeps calling out / shouting about being scared
- If we try discipline her she becomes very upset / more shouting & crying
It’s become a total battle every night - often taking 2 hours to get her asleep. Often she is so tired she cries herself to sleep.
Any advice from other parents who have been through this?
