My daughter is 32 months and we have taught her since she was tiny to sleep by herself, and that has worked great...until now. The last few weeks she stalls and stalls bedtime - wanting us to read her 500 books, asking for milk - and then WAILS when we leave. My husband gives up and goes lay next to her crib until she sleeps, which I hate bc I know she's getting used to it. We've tried to shorten her naps but even if she's passing out she doesn't want us to leave😢😢 help!! I honestly don't know what to do. I know she understand we're nearby and she's safe but rationing doesn't work when she looses it
This isn't too uncommon! Have you joined my Toddler Sleep Masterclass yet? It's a free class and will give you so much great info on EXACTLY why this is happening. The link to save your spot is in the show notes.
See I have the problem of me, as the mom, having seperation anxiety when my child isn’t around. Is that normal? If he’s not sleeping right next to me, I can barely sleep, because I don’t for sure know if he’s safe and ok, even though it’s irrational
You have to do what is best for everyone in your family. If you'd like your child to sleep in their own room, you can get a video monitor so you can still hear their room while you're asleep in case they need anything.
Can you give examples of how to not come in the bedroom so often. Can you perhaps do a video of that. I have a almost 21 month old who she recently is starting on not wanting to nap in the day time unless I am in her room. She has also lately have woken up in the middle of the night crying looking for us. Please help with showing an example. Nothing has changed in the house, I don’t know why she has recently started with this.
I know this can be frustrating! She is going to take the lead from you and she will get used to however she falls asleep. If she falls asleep with you next to her, she will wake up if you're gone and she'll need you to come back again so she can go back to sleep. So, the best thing to do is get her used to falling asleep alone in her room. You could try comforting her for a few minutes but leave before she is asleep. I specialize in kids over 2.5 years old but this is a great skill to work on now while she is still in a crib! Best of luck.
My son is 32 months. We added a sibling almost 4 months ago, my husband just went back to work a few weeks ago, when he did our son started screaming and banging at night time. We've been doing CIO but he takes his clothes off, pees on the floor and hyperventilates 😢 I have tried going in and telling him that we are sleeping in our own bed and he needs to lay down and we will see him in the morning but he just wants me to stay in the room. Wether that be sitting on his bed or sitting in his rocking chair beside his bed. When I leave he loses his mind. My husband has also been recently rocking him to sleep but he is drowsy and sometimes awake when he gets laid down. He USED to wake occasionally at night but then he would look around and maybe talk to himself a bit then go back to sleep. Now he wakes and runs to his door and kicks it screaming for mama and dada.. what am I supposed to do 😫😭
Gosh, I'm sorry that is so frustrating!! I'm sure that's exhausting especially with a new baby. It sounds like he has gotten used to one of you staying with him when he falls asleep and, unfortunately, he may be learning that the bigger the tantrum the faster you come back to sit/rock him back to sleep. And that's not a pattern you want to get into! I'm sure the new baby is a huge curve ball but your toddler still needs his sleep. Set up a super cozy bedtime routine where he gets some solo attention if possible. And then you need to get him used to falling asleep by himself again so that he can get back to sleeping through the night. Have you joined my free toddler sleep masterclass yet?

Hi! Do you think I can start this at 19 months?
what part specifically do you mean? You can certainly start reading the book at bedtime but the craft project may be a bit over his/her head.
Can you give examples of how to not come in the bedroom so often. Can you perhaps do a video of that.
