Hello.
I'm not sure what I expect here but just some nice friendly advice or just that I'm not alone would help!
My dd is 3.4yrs old.
We co-slept and breast fed.
(breastfeeding stopped at 10m due to me going into hospital)
More background is she never slept in a cot or toddler bed. I would often fall asleep half on her toddler bed half on the floor, all because she wouldn't sleep without me.. We thought she would just get it at some point, but never did. Due to the serious lack of sleep I was getting we bought her a double bed. I can now get some sleep when she needs me.
However the first issue we are having is she needs me every night. I'm up and down all night. Most of the time I fall asleep in her bed till the morning. If I'm there she doesn't wake up, well she might wake up see me, but must happily fall back asleep.
The second issue is that she will not let her dad do the bed time routine.
She screams at him, cries and gets so upset.
She tells him she doesn't love him and shouts for him to go away.
We tell her she can't talk like that. She knows this. But nothing helps. We tried getting him to read one book and then me, so we could slowly build it up. But we haven't got any further as she gets too upset.
This means I do every bedtime.
I don't go out in an evening and she doesn't get to stay at her grandparents house.
So any advice out there??
