Books to help with 4 year old & co sleeping

[TiredMum01]

Just looking for any recommendations for books or anything to help with my 4 year old (4 in January) She used to sleep well then we removed the dummy last year, a month of bad sleeping then she started sleeping through again.

however we moved house, she started a new preschool and had a baby sister all in the last 6 months and her sleep has never been so bad. I know she’s going through a lot, I’m just looking for any books that might help her want to sleep in her own bed again. She just wants someone to sleep with her, at first my partner was sleeping with her just so we all got sleep as we had a newborn. But the wakes up started happening again even with him in there and she was still calling me through.

after Christmas, when even though my partner was with her and the wake ups for me were so frequent I had enough. I sat with her while she cried at night and said no one was sleeping with her, I would stay with her til she fell asleep but then would be going back to my own bed. It took a week then she started sleepin through the night which lasted 2 weeks. Then we’ve had lots of illnesses and it’s just gone back to being rubbish again. I’m looking for advice/ tips / books that might help. I don’t want to have to go down the crying route again.

Co sleep till she gains her confidence. There have been a lot of changes especially new preschool can be challenging for her. So sleeping shouldn't be one of the challenges. My kids use to sleep independently and then a minor illness would bring them back to my bed . Don't fight that as the more you do the more difficult it will get. I don't believe in letting them cry out .

Sorry didn't mention books . I usually read something funny like Julia Donaldson , snail and the whale, the dinosaur who pooped the planet series, and a book called 10 minutes to bed .

In a very similar situation here. Have you found anything that works?

We have a book called 'too small for my big bed', or something like that that was supposed to help. It's a sweet story about a little tiger, but I'm not entirely sure my daughter made the connection between the book and herself. She was only 2.5, though, so you might have better luck at 4.
