We have coslept with our 2 yr old since she was born. She has her own room and I usually just go sleep with her since she has a queen bed (none of us can sleep if we are all in the same bed). I don't mind sleeping with her HOWEVER she now will not sleep without me for more than 45 mins. So, basically I spend an hour in bed with her getting her to sleep, then 45 mins - 1 hour later she is awake again and I have to go upstairs. During her first wake up she usually goes right back to sleep but then 45 mins later she is awake again and sometimes goes right back to sleep, sometimes it takes awhile, sometimes I have to just go to bed for the night.
She has always been a difficult sleeper and usually goes through spurts of sleeping all night for a few weeks then back to needing me. This time she had a nightmare about a month ago and it hasn't been the same since. She also weaned the day before her nightmare (maybe the 2 were related?).
I'm at my wits end as I never get any downtime or time alone with my husband. I am also trying to work from home and make some money to continue to stay home with her and I never have the time to do this! And by the way, she does the same at nap.
