Hi,
so we moved our 2 & 1/2 year old daughter into a big girl bed around 4 weeks ago. She’s always been a great sleeper and initially there was no problems - we thought our luck was in!

However around 10 days ago she got unwell, cough/cold/covid type infection & she had a high temp for around 5 days so she was up every hour or so - but settled with a cuddle and Calpol when needed.

shes now been better for the past 5 days - but every night she’s gone to bed fine as normal. But between midnight & 2am. Each time it’s taken a minimum of 1 hour to settle her - but last night after 2.5 hours I had to get in bed with her - mainly to protect mine & my wife’s mental health as - I’m sure you all know - tiredness / frustration is torture! Was this the right thing to do? And does anyone have any tips on this as we just want to get her back in the routine she always was

‘Between midnight & 2am - she’s work up’ it should read
