Please help!!! My 2 year old DD talks to herself, her brother in the next room(he sleeps thru it) for hours after bedtime. I have no idea what to do I feel like I have tried everything with no success. I'm desperate for her to go to bed quietly as in 7 weeks I will have a newborn that needs to sleep in there also. It's to the point where I need to close my bedroom door at nighttime BC her chatter keeps me awake.
She is in a BGB since 18months. Has no lovey or dummy. She has a sippy cup of water on her bedside table. She sleeps well with no NWs once she is asleep.
Routine;
715/730 wake up she has a gro-clock
1-230pm nap which we cap and wake her up
730/745 bedtime
915/930 asleep.
Thru trial and error I know that if I am quiet with all the lights off for about 15 -30min at bedtime she goes right to sleep. But if I do anything, walk around, dishes, tv or turn any light on she starts talking again. She does have her door open after bedtime but never gets out of bed and the second I try to close the door she screams. I'm not going to be able to be quiet for the time frame she needs with a newborn in 7 weeks. Please help
