I agree with Bethany that sleeping with you is probably adding to the restless sleep.  I know loads of mums here who've had great success with GW, so you'll get lots of support.  Have you decided to start yet?

Pls don't judge me. I was due to start today but she had 2 fab nights the last 2-getting up at 0630 and 0600. I know that's not great for done but it's fab given the horrid months we've had. I'm sure today will go back to usual. But thanks for all ur support and guidance and I'm sure will continue to need it. Btw whats strange abt the last 2 nights is she slept for 45 mind and 1 hr only for her naps and both quite early in the day,around noon (they both were nursery days) but still gave us and herself decent nights!! Any ideas?? She's been home today and again slept an hr only but I'm sure I'm in for the usual variety entertainment tonite. Wud b great to hear ur ideas tho.

It can be a good idea to track her sleep over a period of time and see if it's a pattern that sticks.  Some little one's have night wakings when they are napping too much during the day and they need to create some additional wake time for themselves.   You'd want to see a consistent pattern of that before jumping to that conclusion though. :-*  Hurrah for two good nights of sleep.
