I am just going out the door but wanted to point you in the direction of a thread I made some suggestions on:

sleep problem

The no cry sleep solution was really good and helped DD sleep through. She didn't do it until she was about 2. Sorry i can't write more - have a look at the thread I linked to and I will pop back later.

thanxs for that two falls i will try them methods if they work i will do anythin now its tryin to get her sleep in after 5am. i have been under a sleepin specialist for this but they just cudnt help me so thought i wud c if anyone on here can nd u have cum up with sum gd methods.

You poor thing, I hope some of the methods help. as well as the rapid return method, story cds really helped.

You do have to be committed and they are not quick fixes but honestly, I was near demented with sleep deprivation a year ago and now it all seems like a distant horrible dream. Its worth getting Elizabeth Pantley's book or at least looking at the website.

Hopefully someone else may also be around with more advice later.

good luck.

Hi, just thought I'd add, you are not alone.
My DS is 2.4 and still doesn't sleep through. He did, until he was 11 months. And then it changed. Its gotten loads worse since Xmas as we had to take the side off his cot as he kept climbing out. So now, he wakes up and gets out of bed.
I would give anything for a decent unbroken nights sleep. It drives me mad when people go on about how their 2 years olds all sleep (and eat) perfectly, when mine never does.
I'm glad its not just mine that doesn't sleep through!
Best of luck. x

hi i lizzombia thanks for the add. when courtney was 1 i put her in to her bed with a bed guard she did get in and out but i just let her get in and out n she would put herself in her bed. since she has been in her bed the 1st munth or so wen she had her bed she slept all night but then when she got used to it after a couple ov munths she stopped again. she has her times where she will sleep all night then wnt again. all kids r different tho. my friend she has a child who is 3 in june she still in her cot but she gd as gold and sits infront ov tv wiv cartoons on all day but she isnt wot i call a great eater all she eats is chicken nuggets n chips. but like i say all kids r different sorry about long essay lol i get carried away lol

How long has this been the case? It might not just be behavioural. She is possibly chronically overtired, which makes sleeping even more difficult. Only a possibility but have you thought about cranial osteopathy? It is very gentle and can have dramatic effects on sleep correcting possible problems that have caused discomfort since birth. Or is this a more short term problem?
