    14 month old doesn't sleep
    please can someone help as I am now thredders with the situation

    my 14 month old daughter just won't sleep without me
    she was sick a few weeks ago with 4 teeth coming in diorriah and the cold as a result I stayed in her room so when she woke with high temperature I was there asap to cuddle and give medication.

    it has now been 3 weeks and I am still sleeping in the bedroom, she seems to wake up half way through the night not in pain just screaming for me as she wants to get into bed with me, I knew from the bigging this was wrong but now I am stuck as she will not sleep without me.

    I cannot leave her to cry go back in leave her to cry bla bla bla as she gets herself into fits of crying which leads to her being sick everywhere.
    I have tried everything I need to know how I can make her sleep through the night again and in her own bed as this is just killing my relationship also with my oartner as I'm tired grumpy and just not in the mood to talk anymore due to the lack of sleep.

    it takes me on average an hour and a half per night twice a night to get her back to sleep where she will then move like a clock banging her head on the wall for another hour.

    I need some advice please help x - her teeth (molars) are not yet through but I know its not them in the night as her cry/cream is not a pain cry.

    please help

    I was having the same problem and now I give my son a bath before bed every night and after that I put him in his crib and if he crys I let him its hard but sometimes a baby just needs to cry and after a few days he gave up and now I put him in bed a he goes to sleep within a few min

    Nut she screams sooooooooo loud and makes her throut sore which leads to being sick I can't even walk out the room it happens straight away, I have also tried making sure she sleeps on me then putting her back in her cot but no hope she opens her eyes and were bk to stage one again, it's a nightmare.
    I gave her breakfast before bed which I usually don't do so she should be really full so lets see what tonight brings but I think it won't change a her routine is used to getting up. Hmmm
