For anyone struggling with children not wanting to sleep alone

[TeamSleep]

I have just read this article that I wish I’d read sooner, like when my children were toddlers. So I want to share it here for anyone else who is struggling https://ogradywellbeing.com/services/child-sleep/

My children have always struggled to go to sleep without one of us with them and we’ve totally indulged it thinking it’s natural and they will eventually grow out of it. I’m not going to say how old they are and still sleeping with us because quite frankly I’m ashamed. This is the first thing I’ve read that has given me the confidence to try and help them to sleep on their own and I hope it helps someone else to not get into this mess.

Hi Teamsleep!

I realise you posted this a year ago but I just thought I’d message to see if you tried it and whether it helped, and how it’s going now? It certainly is an interesting read. I’ve never posted before in any forum, reading your post made me want to reply!

My DD currently goes to sleep in my bed (it was easier doing solo bedtime with her baby sister that way for a while), and she just used to sleep- but now she wakes up after an hour, two hours tops- scared, looking for me. My husband and I don’t get any chance to have time together in the evening, and she goes to bed quite late anyway!

I think part of the problem is me having the confidence to change it too. I have this dread that my DD will feel rejected. And now she is genuinely scared. Even though her sister is still in the cot with her in the same room too (she is 2 now!). I’d be so interested to hear how you got on. Thank you for posting the original link too 👍🏻
