My 2 year old won't sleep in her bed
Hi I was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice! I have a 2 year old little gilr and she is fantastic, she has slept through the night since the day she was born. For the past week or so she has been going to bed and falling asleep if me or daddy sits and holds her hand but then she wakes up every night at about 11- 11:30 and will not go back to sleep in her own bed. She starts screaming and throwing herself around, chucking herslef on the floor, banging her head on the wall.
She has a pretty normal betime routine as in bath, story cuddles with mummy/daddy, bed!
She doesn't sleep through the day because if she does she will not go to sleep until about 11 pm!
I have tried the tough love thing by walking away and letting her cry but she just comes out of her bedroom and climbs into my bed or stands at the top of the stairs shaking the babygate and whailing! I am frightened that one day she is going to seriously hurt herself!!
Please someone help me or give some different advice apart from walk away and let her cry because it doesn't work!:(
