So I've posted lots on this board about DD not sleeping. She's 2.8.
Just after Christmas I night weaned her and within a week or so she started sleeping beautifully, all by herself 7-7 every single night. It really felt like she'd finally got it. If she occasionally woke all it took was me to tuck her back in and she'd drop straight off again.
Now she's waking 3/4 times a night again and kicking off. She was quite poorly about a month ago and although she's all better now her sleep hasn't settled down again.
There doesn't seem to be anything specific wrong (I'm sure she'd tell me if there was) she just asks for me to sit with her. If this was all it took, or it was just for a few minutes I'd do it but she seems to want me there all night.
She has a good bedtime routine and goes to sleep really well initially in the cot by herself. When she wakes I go in, don't talk to her or engage in any way and just tuck her back in. If she starts asking for things I just say goodnight or time to go to sleep etc.
My biggest concern is that this is going to become a big thing. I absolutely hated sleeping as a child (older than her, probably from 8/9 yrs old) and had night terrors. I really want her to learn that bedtime and sleep is a nice thing. If she needs some reassurance that's fine, but this is really depressing after months of her finally sleeping through. I'm just all out of ideas. Currently sat outside her door. Help!
