lol, memo!
sleep, magical sleep

It's only happening for us now. It only took 2 years and 5 months or so.

Erin's 2 years and 8 months now, sleeps in her own bed, from 8pm to 7am (sometimes a bit later), no night feeds and very few wakings (now and then calls for me if she'd had a bad dream), has a 1.5hr-2hr nap during the day, I pretty much don't know what to do with myself at 4am these days
But it was a long, hard road. I refused to sleep-train her. When I realised she was going through separation anxiety at night, I let her sleep with me and hubby. Hubby wasn't happy about it at first, until he realised how much it calmed everyone down. Then I moved her to a little bed on the floor next to me (placed her cot mattresses there), and moved her back into her room when she was ready. There is no quick-fix when it comes to sleep deprivation, for those of us who have suffered so long it comes as such a welcome relief when they finally are ready to take that next step. I think that's the only time it will work - when they are ready. Until then, hang in ladies. It will happen! x
