My 2yo DD has always been a fab sleeper, settling herself after a story and a cuddle. This all changed about 6 weeks ago. Now she won't settle, getting out of the bed, leaving the room if I try to leave and generally being a bit of a nightmare. Basically she won't go to sleep unless I sit in the room with her and ignore her until she gives up. Tonight this took from 8 til 9.45. We normally go up at 7 but I thought it was worth a try going up later to see if that helped. This on its own would just be annoying, however my DH works away in the week so tonight it was 9.45 before I could even start to put DS (6) to bed.
Now they are both asleep but I still need to do work, put a wash on and tidy up before getting up at 6.30 and I know she will be up at least twice before then. Please help as I can't keep going like this! Any suggestions welcome!
