and 173 returns to bed.

Almost 6yr old DD1.... day 1 of boot camp.

I am sick to death of that child kicking off for up to 3hrs at bedtime and getting into fights with her.

At least we are 30 minutes earlier than we have been the last 2 nights when we werent sleep training!

The only trouble being my 6yr old could give hitler a run for his money!!!! She is very like me, so I think we clash, but I need to crack the sleep thing!

I may be 5yrs too late ( we have tried so many things so many times!) but we will get there.... we have to.

Take a look at this www.mill-pond.co.uk/info/my-child-won-t-sleep

I saw this earlier today and thought what a good idea it was! Basically they put their little girl to bed at the time she was falling asleep - midnight. Did the bath at 11:30pm and then bed. Each night they did it a little earlier until she was going to bed at the right time. Totally worked!

I'm very impressed at the 173.

Even if she's stubborn, I'll bet you can be more so

By this time next week it'll all be so much easier

There was an episode of House of Tiny Tearaways last year. 4 year old girl. 430 returns to bed on the first night, 30 on the second, 6 on the third and none on the 4th.
