I'll look into that. She's s pretty friendly, outgoing kid and isn't showing much separation anxiety outside of this, but you're right it could be a phase and just really poor timing with the bed transition </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-twin-bed-transition#post-2766099 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 23:07:11 +0000 Dahlia 2766099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, around the same time she started fussing again at daycare drop off. And lo and behold, this week she's also starting going happily to school again. I'm sure the two were related. Is O showing any signs of separation anxiety in other parts of her life? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-twin-bed-transition#post-2766098 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 23:05:57 +0000 Dahlia 2766098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 22 months DD starting insisting we stay in the room with her until she fell asleep, even though she was still in a crib. Just this week at just over 24 months has she started to put herself to sleep again. So perhaps it's just a phase unrelated to the change? </p> <p>During that time, we were able to buy ourselves a little freedom. I was able to do the sleep lady shuffle so it got to the point where I could be sitting just outside her door reading a book. Then for the last two weeks, she's screamed when I leave but then DH would go five minutes later, sit for two minutes, and then she would tell him to go away (literally) and roll over and go to bed. Perhaps you could try the shuffle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-twin-bed-transition#post-2766095 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 22:31:33 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2766095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>O had finally learned to both sleep through the night and put herself down without a fuss. It was glorious. Then she spent 3 nights in the hospital in a bed with me. And decided she was no longer a baby and has refused the crib ever since. Mostly the transition has gone ok, but she needs me to sit with her now until she falls asleep. Not a big deal sometimes but today I spent a full hour in there before her nap and over an hour and a half before bedtime. She's also waking up way earlier and waking in the night about half the time now. It's been two weeks. Is there a way to help her get back to her old habits or is this just how it is?</p> <p>Eta: she's 21 months. Lower sleep needs in general but has been on a good schedule of 7:30 or so until 6:30, with a 1-2 hour nap from about 12-2. </p>
