My dd is 2.5 years old and until she transfered to a bed was a fairly good sleeper, she would wake early and sometimes wake in the night but went back to sleep well.
Since she was toliet trained and at the same time, started sleeping in a bed, she's realised she can get out of the bed and come in to our room, she asks for the toilet and for cuddles etc and at first this was cute and we did the stupidest thing ever and made a fuss of her, gave her a cuddle before taking her to the toilet then putting her back to bed.
Between our mistake with the cuddles and a nasty cold she had recently where I had to sleep in her bed she now refuses to sleep alone. She goes to bed alone but wakes any time fromm 11pm onwards and either wants to sleep in our bed or have me in her bed but screams blue murder if I try to get her back to bed alone.
I kind of lost it last night through sheer exhaustion when dd refused to sleep AT ALL even with me in her bed. I just broke down crying in front of dd and dh came in to take her away. I am at the end of my teather as I haven't slept for longer than 2 or 3 hours at a time since august.
How can I break this habit dd has got into?
