For the past month bedtime and naptime have become very very difficult. More so at bedtime. It started when he jumped out of his crib several times. We were worried that he would hurt himself so we took the side of the crib off. We out one of those sides up so he wouldn't fall out! The first night he slept all night. then for 4 weeks after that was sleeping all night. It was wonderful. All of a sudden at the mention of bedtime he started screaming. even putting on his pjs was a struggle. It got to the point where he was just getting right out of his toddler bed as soon as we put him in. we usually shut his door too. In seconds it was open and he was down the hall. So we started leaving it open. He slept for nights before it all atarted again. Then we finally broke down and got a full bed. Now one of us has to stay in there till he falls asleep or I have to rock him to sleep. Once asleep he only sleeps till 1 or 1:30pm. he wants to come in our bed and I don't want that. One of the reasons we got the full bed. this way I am bringing him back to his bed. I don't know what to do anymore. Its so bad! Help please! My son is 2 years old.

He used to fall asleep in my arms, then transition to his crib. In the last week, he just won't sleep. My husband and I are firm. No playing, same routine, etc. But, here we are, 2 hours past his bedtime and he's still screaming bloody murder while being held. I am at my wits end. The poor kid is 21-months-old and has night terrors if he falls asleep too late. This mommy's about to break if she hears much more sobbing.

James is the problem when it comes to sleeping. We are living in the UK but are both South African. We have no support system whatsoever and have not had a decent nights sleep in 2 yrs. James wakes on average 1-2 times a night but it takes hours of him crying and screaming before he goes to bed. We go in with him, read him a story, brush his teeth then kiss him goodnight and tell him its time for bed. Once the crying starts we go in every 5 min or so to reassure him and put him back into bed.... this goes on for nearly 2 hours every night. Its killing us. Do you have any sleep sense people based in the UK? Please send their details!! Kind regards Jenni Hi Dana,
