***this is a msg I got from Ella. Just posting it on this thread in case I am not online others can have all the info & chip in ideas 
***Hiya
Thanks for the reply. I will show you her main 3 routines in her 2 years:
Age birth - 18 months - Wake in morning. an hour nap am and an hour nap pm. Bath story and bed around 6pm. Bedtime consisted of me settling her in my bed as we co shared. She would sleep all night.
Age 18 months - 2 years: Wake in the morning, midday nap, bath stories and bed around 6pm. Lola was settled by me in her own bed in her own room. Lola would wake and come into my bed where she would stay until morning.
Age 2 years - 2yrs and 3 months: Lola would wake and have a midday nap. She would go up to bed after bath and stories and cuddles. She settles herself well and sleeps for a good few hours. Wakes around 6 times a night, sometimes more. Would return to master bedroom after consistently being taken back to her bed. Lola would wake at 5 am.
Age 27 months - 28 months: For the past month we have been putting Lola to bed at 7pm. Same structured routine, bath, stories, cuddles. We introduced the gate to the doorway of her bedroom which she hasnt minded. This means she can no longer enter master room. Not been a problem. Lola just calls me from her bed. Her nap time is 11 til 1pm. Her tea time is half six. Each time she wakes she asks me to sit for 2 minutes. She asks for mummy and mummie's partner alot. He has recently gone back to work after having a long time at home with us so i wonder if she is missing him. Her father left us in March and her new daddy has been in her life for 3 months. She is secure during the day. Its just the consitent waking and crying at night. We have tried as much as we can think of. We are exhausted!
regards
Ella
Hi its ella again- I forgot to say that she naps by getting into bed and settling herself. Takes a while cause she'd rather play but she does go eventually!
Thanks!
