My 2 Year Old Won't Sleep

As the title says- My 2 Year Old Won't Sleep. I put her down with cuddles and however much milk she decides to guzzle and then every time I try and leave she gets up and cries 'MUMMY' for around 3 hours every single night, she also still wakes up multiple times in a night. I am a single parent I don't have help and I feel like I'm losing my mind, I'm crying with frustration every night and I get so angry. Before I would just put her in the cot when I'd been with her for ages and she wouldn't sleep and she's go down after a couple of minutes but now she climbs out of the cot and opens all the doors in the house although I often hold it shut while crying desperately on the other side. I feel like I have no time at all for myself and I'm so exhausted and I absolutely hate my life and being a parent. Please help me how can I get her to sleep?

That sounds very tough Sad

Does she have a bedtime routine? Does she sleep with a favourite toy or similar? Are you able to put a stair gate on her room or somewhere just outside of it so she's at least contained in a small area once she climbs out of bed.

I don't want to suggest certain things if you're already doing them, which is what my questions are about. Not judging Smile

Do you want to continue breastfeeding ?
