Is this true?!
I have read in a few of the other topics that children start to sleep better around 18 months and even better around 3 years of age. Please share your experiences with toddlers under 2, was 18 months a turning point for you?
I really hope so. My little girl is 16 months and has done a few 4 hour stretches. It would be nice for her to start sleeping longer stretches at night. She really doesn't like her daddy to put her to sleep. She pretty much relies on me. I don't completely mind it, but sometimes I would like for my husband to put her back to sleep. No kidding, she screams her head off if he comes near her. She can even sense him coming toward her to which she responds with a scream and tries to dig herself under me while on the bed. It's quite funny but I don't catch too much of a break when she enjoys her play time in the middle of the night. She doesn't even want to play with daddy, although she loves to play with him during daylight hours. Once night time hits, she wants nothing to do with him. With the twins it was easier because they were both fine with him putting them to bed or helping them fall back asleep.
FYI, our 16 month old starts off the night in a crib and eventually gets transferred into our bed when we're ready to hit the sack. Although lately, we've been trying to get her to go back to the crib in hopes that she will sleep better.
