how do i get my 18 month old son to fall asleep on his own? every night he just wants me to stand in the room untill he is completly asleep. if he even hears me walk out he will just cry himself into such a state then i end up having to stand there anyway. help

i have tried that. but our floorboards creek then that disturbs him. sometimes i end up standing around for over an hour. i'm thinking about CC, but whenever i try it either my partner or i give in.

With a cunning system of leves and pullies...
Or on all fours, with suction pads on your knees - for the walls.

How is it they can sleep when a lorry passes them on a pavement, but a squeaky floorboard... you're screwed!

did you watch Supernanny last night? She seemed to deal with this problem very well

Hi Amyxxx, my 20 mth DD does the same, it is good to know I am not alone. I also end up having to repeat the standing by cot in the night, often a few times I have been known to almost fall asleep standing up (like a horse!) So you have my sympathy, no advice though- sorry.

Compo I didnt see super nanny what did she do?

hi. it is good to know your not alone but it's still so stressful sometimes, especially when u r so tired.
