We used to read stories but then I would cuddle Liam in the rocking chair and sing to him until he could hardly keep his eyes open then I'd put him into his bed to go to sleep. That's not easy for you with two, maybe Mark could have one while you have the other and do a Team thing while Jamie is away. Maybe you could try a rail on the side of his bed, he may be feeling a little insecure without his cot. We moved Liam to a bed because he was waking up because he was hitting the sides whenever he rolled over, he was getting too big for the cot. Hope some of these help.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04864984092931728676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33028860.post-16245912338421791472012-01-22T09:53:07.418+11:002012-01-22T09:53:07.418+11:00Hi Christy i can feel your frustration, pain and g...Hi Christy i can feel your frustration, pain and guilt Maddy did all this except the head butting she would kick the wall instead or me until she was at least 10 i let her have her dummy and bottle until a couple of months before she started kinder people frowned upon me but it was my saviour and i think it saved her from me. I tried the time out all the supper nanny tips, rewards she would just laugh off any punishments. she went through a lot of changes from the age of 2 including changing houses x 3 suburbs, people, child care 4 days a week and all the other things you know about. To get her to sleep i gave her a massage every night in bed after 1 - 3 books sometimes this would take 1/2 hour to get her settled, when she was older (i think about 4) i used relaxation CDs and played them in her room, i found she seemed to settle more with a little night light beside her bed, she talked but I had to do a little of my own speech path at home (phonics)in kinder. I've have had her at 3 psychologists who didn't find anything wrong with her and said she will be fine and grow out of it and had a great GP until she decided to take a break 2 months ago grr :( She has slowly grown out of all these behaviours since I've changed her diet by reducing as much as possible the gluten in her diet and lactose ,she goes to bed by herself for the past 2 years its been 1030 but at least that stopped the bedtime battles and started sleeping through the night and stopped the night tantrums when she was about 9 and sleeps in on the weekends. but still can be very difficult at times now she has hit pubity. It's bloody hard work especially on your own but trust me it gets better even when you can't see the bright side. Keep up the good work take care Mel XXMel Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07448290330697397832noreply@blogger.com
