Hello all
My 2yo DD was until quite recently a decent sleeper; bit gobby when laid down to sleep but usually sleeping within 30min, no revisits.
Now we have a running battle every time she's put down. Nap time and bedtime take the same shape:
Cuddle and story (no story at lunch)
Put in cot
Snuggle her in with teddies
Silence for 20 minutes
Screaming
Chucking toys and covers out
One more cuddle after 15min yelling
Repeat 3 times
Her nap at lunch is midday and bedtime is 7. She used to do two hours at lunch.
Her screaming is hellish. The neighbour is reacting and her baby brother in the next room is unsettled.
She's losing two hours in the day and at night now.
She's usually well sleepy at 10:30am but she's either at nursery or we are out at that time. This is a new time for her to be tired.
I'm just reaching out. I'm at my wit's end and I don't know what to do. Others have it worse I know but the instascreaming is utterly unbearable.
Anyone else been through this? Tell me it's a phase.....
