My dd is 22 months and always struggled getting to sleep at night but it seems to be getting more and more out of hand.
She has a solid (I think) bedtime routine of bath, stories, quiet piano music on tonie box with lights out and cuddle in bed. However after a couple of minutes of fidgeting she is up again- I always stay with her until she falls asleep, often it’s 10pm by the time she is asleep.
She is currently in the dropping the nap stage so some days will wake at 7am and not sleep until 10pm. On days her older sister is at preschool she will often nap in the pram so at least she gets a little daytime sleep but it doesn’t help bedtime.
Her second molars are coming in so she often had calpol or ibuprofen and anbesol before bed.
I feel at a real loss of what to do with her, she must be so tired! Any ideas what I am missing here?
