Need suggestions for books

[sprite25]

Does anyone have any suggestions for books on how to get a child to go/stay asleep on their own? DD is 3 yrs 5 months and has never accepted going to sleep on her own and now gets up in the night to come into our bed. I know I need to be tough but am currently pregnant and exhausted so just do anything for an easy life to get some sleep.

There's likely to be lots of histrionics in order to get her sleeping on her own, at this age.

Nothing wrong with setting high expectations of her behaviour at bedtime (this is likely to be a behaviour issue, more than an anxiety issue), being very firm on what is acceptable and what isn't, then dealing with the histrionics and drama she will create to make you back down.

But it depends if you feel ready or able to deal with that level of anger and reputation from her?

The simplest answer for you both to get the most sleep might be to room share. Get her a ready-bed for the floor of your bedroom, or set yourself a bed up in her room, or share a bed. This won't be forever, she should grow out of it by school age (ish). But it's certainly an option.

Frustration (not reputation).
