Toddler and sleep issues.. HELP!

Home_slice · January 2010

My just about two year old has been having major issues lately around sleep. Granted, we brought home her sister a few weeks ago, so I don't know if she's just adjusting to that, or if she's entering the terrible twos, but she does not want to nap, or go to bed at night. She flails around, and screams and kicks and it breaks my heart.

Is there something I can do to make it better, or is it just a typical tantrum that I should ignore..? I dread nighttime/naptime now. Thanks!

Yup. Sounds about right. We put a full size mattress on her floor and that helped for a few weeks. Now it's extra snugglinng and cuddling, then let her fuss. DH goes up after 5 minutes and puts her back in the bed of her choice and leaves after a snuggle, and that's it for us...

My second isn't even here yet and he is already doing this. I have to lay with him until he falls asleep. Really want him sleep trained by the time his sister comes. Any advice?

Mine's almost 18 mos and just started this. Well, she was a NIGHTMARE to put to bed from about 6 weeks old til about 12 months, seriously. At 12 mos she got EASY, and now is fighting it again. We just give her some extra cuddle time and then let her fuss/complain/yell it out.
