Need help with 16 month old sleeping (or not sleeping more like!!)

[justme27]

Hi there

Need some desperate help please!

My 16 month old is just not sleeping through the night. She used to be a good sleeper until about 3 months ago.

My fault but she got used to sleeping with me in bed. She seemed uncomfortable in her cot so I have changed it to a cot bed and put her in the room we used to sleep in together.

Problem is, she wont sleep there, either waking 3-4 times a night crying Muy Mumy or coming to find me. She wont fall asleep herself - needing me to sit in the room with her.

I work 3 days so cant get her in bed before 8pm and she normally wakes around 7am so I can drop her off. She has a 2-3 hour nap a day.

Sorry this is a bit long but hopefully that answers all questions to give me tips! I need sleep!!

Thanks everyone

I couldve written this! DS2 is 15mo, used to be a good sleeper (put him down awake, woke once or twice for dummy and straight back to sleep). He was a bit ill a few months ago, so slept with me, now if he even SEES his cot he goes beserk.
Unless DH puts him to bed.
Wont nap during the day, unless in pushchair, or I lie down with him and transfer into his cot when asleep.
Up tons in the night, wont settle, wants me there in the room. Had stopped putting him in my bed, but was getting so bad that I was (barely)existing on 3-4 hours sleep a night, so he comes in now and then when nothing else will work.
I feel your pain justme, and hope someone comes along who can help us.
