Need toddler sleep help...
I used to boob Lil to sleep then when she stopped solely boobing to sleep I started going in and feeding her in bed then sending Danny in who would sing her 3 songs then leave and she'd fall asleep on her own.
Lately she is fighting sleep so much, we've tried everything except CIO which I really do not want to do.
She just wants one of us there until she falls asleep which i've always been fine with but now it's approached a point where she is realising that she's falling asleep and fighting it by playing in bed or chatting and freaking out if we try to leave the room.
Also she's learning how to control her bowels and sometimes asks for the toilet now so she'll either ask for the toilet or make herself crap in her nappy so we have to change her.
I can't lie with her for an hour or 2 while she plays around or sit on her bedroom floor all night.
It's getting really frustrating, especially because she was putting herself to sleep on her own by her own choice and never even asking for us to stay.
Ideas? Help? Anything?
