Sorry to be a bore, I've posted a couple of threads about this already but am getting to desperation point now.
Up until about 3 weeks ago dd, 22 months, has been a pretty good sleeper. We have a nice cosy routine day and night and she's gone to sleep on her own in her cot for naps and bedtime without any problems and she's slept well there. Around 3 weeks ago she started making a fuss about her daytime sleep. She's not been ill, no change in routine, and she's definitely tired when we put her down (yawning and tells us she's sleepy and tired). She doesn't scream and cry as such but she stands saying 'hello mummy' over and over. I've tried leaving her but she doesn't stop, if I go in to 'comfort' her she just gets very upset when I leave and then resumes the 'hello mummy' mantra. So we found that if we lay down with her on the fold-out bed in her room she'd go to sleep and we could slip out or have a nap with her. But now the problem's extended to night time too. Last night it took till 9pm to get her off and she was awake this morning 3-5am. I'm totally exhuasted. So is she.
I just don't know what to do. I think the lying with her on the bed in her room has made things worse re. nighttimes. But if I don't do that she skips a nap which leaves her incredibly tired by mid-afternoon.
She doesn't like sleeping in the pram so that's not an option.
Am I going to have to be tough and do cc with her in the cot? I've done it once before when she was 15 months but dread doing it again.
