My dd is 2.5 and bed time is a compleate nightmare. She has slept in a crib since she was born ( we didnt know anything about co-sleeping and she would NOT lay next to me to nurse). Before Christmas she decided she wanted a big girl bed and slept in a twin for about a month. She then wanted back to the crib so she went. Now she doesnt want to sleep anywhere!!
She says the crib hurts her, she wont stay in the toddler bed, the twin scares her, she wont sleep with us, and she wont stay on the couch. It doesnt matter if we read to her before hand, sing to her, lay with her, ignore her (dont flame I know this is wrong, she isnt crying btw but talking to herself singing ect..) NOTHING works. It took over 2 hours for her to go to bed tonight.
She is miserable everynight and is becoming more and more difficult to deal with during the day. I dont know what to do, she is so upset, we are upset and nothing we do makes it better...usually makes it worse.
What can I do to get her to sleep? I dont really care where it is at this point just so long as she gets her much needed sleep. ANYTHING you have I will try. I should mention she doesnt nurse anymore so I cant give comfort that way.
TIA
