Morning, my 2 year old (26 months) has never been a good sleeper but she is going through a phase of being so so clingy with me (her mummy) and will only go to sleep if I'm holding her hand. She then wakes up each night crying for me and again wanting me to hold her hand to go back to sleep. I know this is a bad habit to get into and a crutch so we've tried not doing it but she screams blue murder (1-4am this morning) and we are absolutely broken. We also have a baby that I am ebf so I'm just getting no sleep and I can't go on like this. We don't know how to resolve the issue but she will cry for hours and hours if we leave her which really upsets me. I'm at the point of wondering if we needed a sleep consultant? Or should I just give in and go into the spare room with her and the baby as I just want an easier life and more sleep so I can feel human again. It's hard to know how to handle the clinginess...do I go with what she needs or try to stick to boundaries of her own cot/room? Thanks so much from a desperate mum.
