I need help! My DD (2) will not sleep in her own room, we have 3 DS (5,7,9) who all where brilliant sleepers no issues ever all go to bed when told and stay there until morning.
she has never been a good sleeper at night we had issues in her next to me cot, and when we transferred her to her actually cot, she has always been rocked to sleep (when baby) or rocked in her pram. She does fall asleep on her own for nap time (on the couch) and at night she has fallen asleep in her own cot previously but it would take hours and I don’t have the time at night to spend 3 hours in her room, I’m studying and my husband works late. We have tried cry it out but our other children couldn’t sleep and we gave up after 4 hours of none stop screaming, since November she has been in our bed before Christmas she would just fall asleep on her own in the bed and we would put her in her cot when we went to bed, but the last few weeks she’s been staying up untill 9/10 and wants us both in bed with her. I’m doing a degree and it’s effecting the amount of time I have to do coursework as evening are the only time I get anything done.
all I want is for her to go to sleep on her own in her cot for 7-7.30. Does anyone have any advice/ways I could try? She’s 2 years 3 months and I thought I would try on here before paying £££ for a baby sleep therapist!
thanks
