21 month old suddenly afraid/dislikes cot

Hi,

Really hope somebody can help me.

My super lovely DD after nearly 2 years of being a fab sleeper has in the past week suddenly refused to go to bed in her cot.

Prior to 'LAST WEEK' she would be a clockwork 7-7. Put her down awake after milk, we would say night night back and forth etc, sometimes she would drop straight off, sometimes sing for a bit - but always no problem.

She was poorly last week, and was sick quite extensively over the side of her cot, this was repeated a couple of nights later, and she's now refusing to go to bed in her cot, and waking up in the middle of night, frantic, refusing to go back down. Sometimes crying until she vomits ( this is deliberate, not her tummy bug - I don't think). She is losing approx 4 hours sleep a day from later bed times and night wakings.

I'm really aware that as of last Friday she was fine, and now she's not - and would like to get her back on track asap.

My next baby is due in 2 weeks, and apart from the stress and arguments is causing between me and DH, I'm now really worried that the stress of a new sibling in going to send us into a spiral!!!!

Please please any help will be very much appreciated!

Maybe it's time for a fresh start in a big bed?

Yes wondering about big bed.

If it was at any other time then 2 weeks before my due date I would.

The timing of the new baby makes me nervous to load to much change on her - but I suppose at the same time we can't go on as we are either.
