That's awesome to hear, well done! Isn't it funny how we always doubt ourselves when usually we do have the right answer, we're just not always confident enough to use it ]]> Sat, 19 Nov 2011 12:38:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40984&PID=1409186&title=perfect-sleeper-turns-horrible-sleeper#1409186 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40984&PID=1408939&title=perfect-sleeper-turns-horrible-sleeper#1408939 Author: lilliz

I just wanted to say thanks again ladies for your encouragement. I put my DS in his own big bed on Monday night and my wonderful sleeper has returned. He loves his new bed and his nightlight...and so do we!

Yay xx]]> Fri, 18 Nov 2011 12:36:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40984&PID=1408939&title=perfect-sleeper-turns-horrible-sleeper#1408939 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40984&PID=1407557&title=perfect-sleeper-turns-horrible-sleeper#1407557 Author: High9

I'd try the bed too. A month ago dd was co sleeping (so 19 months) then DP decided he'd had enough so we started off with a week maybe .5m away from the bed in her toddler bed/cot then another week but maybe 1.5m away from our bed. The it was straight into her room. No issues at all! She even takes herself to bed now! ]]> Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:32:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40984&PID=1407557&title=perfect-sleeper-turns-horrible-sleeper#1407557 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40984&PID=1407552&title=perfect-sleeper-turns-horrible-sleeper#1407552 Author: SophieD

Hi there :-)

Just wanted to add that we had the same problems! My dd is a bit younger though. She slept super well until a couple of weeks ago and then would just scream and scream in the cot. Would happily fall asleep anywhere else but the cot.

We took her cot away 2 weeks(?) ago and put her mattress on the floor....worked a treat! I was amazed, she happily goes to sleep on her mattress now and very rarely gets up at night. She tends to just sit on the mattress and cry at night if she wakes up. Daytime naps she will get up and crawl out to come and find us though.

anyway, hope it works for you. Good Luck!!]]> Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:23:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40984&PID=1407552&title=perfect-sleeper-turns-horrible-sleeper#1407552 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40984&PID=1407542&title=perfect-sleeper-turns-horrible-sleeper#1407542 Author: EmDee

Thanks ladies! I'm going to run with the bed option. Like you say, we won't lose anything by doing so. Who knows, it might just be the answer. I guess we can only try and as I've always gone with my instinct it seems like the logical option!

Thanks for giving me the confidence to do so! ]]> Mon, 14 Nov 2011 14:18:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40984&PID=1407538&title=perfect-sleeper-turns-horrible-sleeper#1407538 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40984&PID=1407529&title=perfect-sleeper-turns-horrible-sleeper#1407529 Author: tishy

I'd try the bed, especially as your instinct is that it's the root cause.

Then, if he still has problems, I would try sitting with him in his bed, instead of the couch, and slowly phase him off that.]]> Mon, 14 Nov 2011 14:04:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40984&PID=1407529&title=perfect-sleeper-turns-horrible-sleeper#1407529 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40984&PID=1407528&title=perfect-sleeper-turns-horrible-sleeper#1407528 Author: EmDee

... or you might not? I'd try it and see to be honest. If he has no issues napping at daycare and that is the only thing that has changed, it may be the simplest solution?

edit - and if you still have to get up to him as you do now then you aren't losing anything by trying it.

My DS is 20mths and has been the perfect sleeper since 7 weeks old but for the last two months he's gone from perfect to horrible!

We've always had the same routine and in bed by 7pm. He used to go to bed awake and then we wouldn't hear from him till morning. These days, he cries when I put him in his cot. He insists on coming out and sleeping on the couch! We do this and he goes instantly to sleep and then about 30 minutes later we put him back to bed and that's usually it (80% of the time).

We've tried the CIO method but he screams and gets himself worked up so much that we actually begin to worry about him. He shakes, gets all sweaty and just sobs his heart out.

The only thing we can think of that has changed is that he is no longer in a cot at daycare, and now in a bed. So perhaps he doesn't like the locked in feeling. I'm reluctant to try a bed though as I know he'll get up, bang on the door and we'll have to go and see to him just as we do now..

Any suggestions or advice welcome on how to get our angel sleeper back!!!]]> Mon, 14 Nov 2011 13:37:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40984&PID=1407523&title=perfect-sleeper-turns-horrible-sleeper#1407523
