| |  not a good night for DD :(
DD has been sleeping great for months, right through the night. She is almost 18 months old now, sleeps in a toddler bed, has done since she was 9 months old and loves it. I normally put her to bed at 7pm and sing her a song, give her blankie to her, kiss her, lights out, I walk out and she goes straight to sleep. But tonight is different, she is screaming, I've comforted her many times and walked out of the room saying goodnight, giving her lots of reassurance. She then throws a tantrum in her bed and will scream out for me. I go in after a while and the process is repeated. Hmmm, I don't think she is sick, she had nurofen earlier because she has been chewing her fingers today and seems to be getting a molar at the back. Just very confusing tonight as she's always so great. Thanks for listening  |

Did anyone else's toddler just start doing this overnight? I have now gone in 8 times, she is hysterical. It's like I have a different little girl  hmmm...it is puzzling me, when I picked her up for a cuddle, she giggled and hugged me and had a chat, then, I put her back down and she cracks it big time again, she has puffy eyes, poor little chook. I hope she isn't testing though! Kids hey!

Charlie has always been the same as in, put him in bed (bed or cot), say goodnight, walk out & he's off to sleep no worries. The only time he did as you have described was because he just wasn't ready to sleep, good be an age thing. He's only done it a couple times & it was easier to get him out & let him play another 15mins & he would go off no worries............just wasn't ready at that time. Sorry, don't know if that helps.

Yeah I'd probably be tempted to get her up for 15 minutes to play and then try again. Did she have more sleep today than normal?

Good old DH, he's the best settler in our house too! DD goes through stages like this. Will not settle for about a week or so, and then is right again. Have never been able to match it up with anything though, just one of those things.

I don't really have any advice - DS is nearly 2.5 and we sit next to him of a night time to get him to go to sleep. If he has a day sleep it can take up to an hour to get him to go to sleep (usually around 9pm). If he doesn't have a day sleep it takes about 2 minutes to get him to go to sleep.. LOL
But we have always sat next to him, just seemed to be what he needed at the time.

Thanks everyone for your replies!! She was the same tonight, very scared of me to leave the room. Third night running of her looking very scared of me leaving. So tonight, I just sat next to her toddler bed until she went to sleep, I wasn't facing her, just popped my head down and didn't hold her hand or anything. She went off reasonably quickly, around 5 mins. She is waking at 3am and screaming, I normally take her into bed with us to get some sleep as we're pretty tired. Ah well...if I have to sit next to her for a while, so be it, as long as she feels secure. Thanks again!! xx
