My 19/20 month old daughter was a perfect sleeper till recently. I could lay her in her cot at 7.30pm and she would go straight to sleep no problems, no crying at all, actually very happy to go in cot. Then I went away for a weekend and ever since will not go to sleep on her own. Whilst I was away she was with daddy and jumped out of her cot twice as she was so fractious and upset. So when I came back I did a bad thing and put her into the spare bed with me and she slept thru till around 5pm and then wanted a drink and would then go back to sleep till around 6.30-7pm. Unfortunately, I have allowed this to go on for a week till we got her a toddler bed as I didn't want her climbing out again in the night. I've tried putting her in there. She will lie down eventually but wants me to lie next to her till she's asleep. Then wakes around 4-5am for a drink. We haven't put her back into the bed yet after she wakes, so she's now used to sleeping in with me or daddy. Please give me a point by point guide as what to do and I will stick to it. Oh, also when I put her to bed first (7.30pm) she has been asking for juice/eat/wee-wee, should I give into all or any of these?
Many thanks
