I have 3 children, Youngest is 4 and we are struggling so much with sleep.
we have always co slept with her. Not sure if it was because I knew she was my last or because I had such a difficult pregnancy and felt like I wanted her close but we did.
about 6 months ago we tried to move her to her own room, she hated it. We got her a new bed that she picked out, new bedding, did her room all nice for her to make her own space.
She wasnt great in there and usually would come into our room about 3/4am. We wouldn't know just wake up and she would be in our bed, that I could deal with as I felt it was a start. The odd night we would get to 6am and a rare occasion all night. The last 4 weeks have been absolutely horrendous. She's not going to sleep at all, when she eventually does go to sleep (can be 11pm if not nearer midnight) I'll leave the room when she is snoring. 10 minutes later she is up, this goes on all night long. As soon as she falls asleep I leave the room and a few minutes later she is up.
We are so exhausted by it, tried a yoto box, lights on, lights off, night lights on, a ollie owl clock, reward charts, weighted blankets, weighted bear, nothing is working.
8pm we took her to bed tonight, 11:15 my husband has just taken over from me as she finally went to sleep at 10pm (snoring) i left the room and by 10:15 shes awake again and now wont go back to sleep.
I cant stay in her bed all night long, she cant sleep in mine. She'e far too big and I am not getting any sleep at all as she kicks out so much.
I have no idea what we even do, my eldest 2 were amazing sleepers and went in their own rooms fine. This time round it's a completely different ball game.
