Dawn a huge hug for you as being a Mum { especially one as good as you] is the hardest job ever, Caz xxxxxxxxxx

Annie problem is her bed is in our room and she has got into the routine of me staying upstairs with her to get her to sleep and as I go to bed early she tries and stays up if I wont sleep with her. Got to the point where I was upstairs all evening and hubby was downstairs so never got any time together. Has gone a bit quieter for a bit!!!!

I know this is a bit controversial but have you thought about waiting a couple of months before trying again. I was always reassured by my family doctor a father of five who used to say things like 'they won't want to sleep with you when they are eight'. They didn't. Anne (mother of five).

oh dawn i feel so sorry for you,your thread takes me back22yrs when my eldest was 3yrs old she was used to sleeping inbetween hubby and me being an only child,but when her brother arrived she had to go in her own bed,every time she got up we had to put her back to bed,the first night we put her to bed 137times the second night 90odd times, the third night twice,the fourth night she didnt get up at all,so keep going it will be alright in the end.xxx

Ros we did manage a few nights of her going but she has got bad again and can scream for hours until she wears herself out

I wondered how her bed time training was progressing. Hope she stops crying soon , Dawn, Ros

Oh Dawn....

Dawn, I feel for you, but after a couple of nights persevering, tiddler will realise you mean she has to stay in bed and all will be well. Sunny R

I want to go to bed to rest my weary bones but hubby wont let me as tiddler wont go to sleep and keeps crying and screaming for me, I would just go up and go to bed with her but he is being strict to try and break her habit, its torture listening to her screaming and crying
