Ever since my 2.5 year old turned 1 her sleep has been terrible, almost every night she’s ending up in our bed. Last year we got referred to a sleep clinic and I did everything they said and more, just before Christmas last year her sleep started to improve and then she got unwell and we went back 100 steps.
This year has been a big year for her, she’s become a big sister, changed massively and we’ve potty trained her and whilst I know a lot has changed both personally and development wise her sleep is just getting the better of me.
Shes started to play myself and my husband off each night prolonging bedtime - sometimes we can be up there for like 1.5-2 hours and it simply can’t be that way especially now we have another daughter.
I feel like my husband and I have hardly spent any evenings together recently and I could count on one hand how many times we’ve slept in the same bed over the last few months beacaue she either ends up with me or my husband ends up going into her bed.
Im just struggling and at a loss as what to do as I’ve done everything I possibly can - I’m trying to be patient but it’s really hard especially when your totally exhausted at the end of the day.
If anyone is in the same boat or has any useful tips please let me know! One desperate mama here! X
