DD has, for the majority of her little life, has been an excellent sleeper at night time.
For the last year though she has been scared of the dark so now sleeps with her light on.
Since January she has found it really difficult to settle at bedtime on her own so I have been 'working' on my laptop whilst she falls asleep - normally it only takes 5 mins or so before she drops off. This coincided with her moving up a room at nursery.
She used to want me to potter around in my bedroom when she was falling asleep as she liked the sound of hearing me around.
Now - its not ideal that I carry on doing this - not least because I need to get on with things... but doesn't anyone have any ideas on how I can break this habit.
Most of the time it is me doing bedtime alone so I've just been doing the easy option of sitting with her. When dh is here I'd rather spend time with him!
Or should I just continue to sit with her for an easy life - I'm not going to be there doing it when she's 18 am I?
