My daughter has become terrible at sleeping on her own. She will go down in our bed (for practicalities, my DS 18 months old goes down at the same time in the cot, they share a room) so we give her a story in our bedroom so it doesn't disturb him.
Once she's asleep we carry her to her own bed. She will, without fail, every night walk into our room, it used to be around 4am but it's become earlier and earlier, now around 11pm. She'll either come to our bed and sleep between us all night, which means we have bad sleep, or I'll guide her back to her bedroom. She won't let me leave immediately when I do that (the fuss is unbearable) so I lie with her and walk back to my own bed once she's back to sleep. She always then wakes shortly afterwards and shouts me and we go through the process again. Last night we repeated this rigmarole 7 times.
I am pregnant- due in June- so for obvious reasons this has to stop, but I'm also bloody knackered!
I've tried a reward chart (not interested), bribery with a new toy or sweets (no joy). She tells me she will sleep in her own bed when she's 4, or "later". She's a wise one and nothing seems to be working.
Any advice?!
