Now the hard work begins My little girl was in a bed at 18 months. I trained her in a week to go to bed awake and get herself to sleep...it was hard work. The first night I got in bed with her, the second I just put my head on her pillow, but my body out of the bed, the next I held her hand, the next I sat there reassuring her I was there, but no physical contact, the next I sat on her toybox at the otherside of the room, the next I was outside of the door reassuring her she was alright.........it took hours some nights for her to go to sleep, but after one week I could put her in bed at 7.30 awake and she got herself to sleep. (sorry for rambling, but I think you get my drift!!!).

trac I have a creche here in Ireland so its baby baby baby all day long.I would stall on the bed for a while cause she is still little and she will just start to come into you out of habit.I would lower the side of the cot so she can fall out a bit more safely and not get a hopper. However I have one little guy here who hasn't slept in a cot since he was one!So kids are determined little buggers and if Millie is one of them sod the rules and get her a beautiful bed

I love reading through things like this because it makes you realise there is no right and wrong answers. We all do what we feel is right for our child. If we had more then one we might do different things according to their little personalities.

 

[lillie]

i put a spare mattress at the side of their little beds ,it helped if they fell out and if they wont settle you can sleep on there so they dont get in the habit of being in your room,obviously sneak out when they are asleep or stay if your oh is snoring xx

 

[TracyJ]

Lol she is 1 of those kids ffbb!!! And some!! She came 10 weeks early for that reason i reckon lol. I thought it was a little early too as like you say she will get out out of habit and might not really understand xxx
