It went on for about a month and then she started sleeping normally again.</p> <p>It's totally a stalling tactic. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-49#post-1978884 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 13:55:14 +0000 abmamma 1978884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My almost 2.5 year old does the same thing-- especially when it is time to go to sleep (for nap or at night). She wants another hug, a different blanket, to wipe her face, to put on socks, to go potty, a song, leave the door open, etc. It is definitely a stalling tactic. For awhile I was accomodating of all of the requests but I am trying to limit it to one or two things-- do you want another hug or do you want a song? Do you want socks or do you want me to leave the door open? It's still taking her awhile to fall asleep but at least I am not in there forever! She does this in the middle of the night occassionally too but it's not usually as bad. Hopefully they grow out of it soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-49#post-1978816 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 13:39:43 +0000 looch 1978816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does she need the nap anymore? Maybe she's ready to drop it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-49#post-1978807 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 13:37:56 +0000 erinpye 1978807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2.5 year old had been STTN for over a year and started doing this. I was so frustrated that she was night waking again, but in talking to a few mom friends of LOs the same age, I found out they were experiencing the same thing. I think it's a phase-- my oldest LO is back to STTN now, 4 months before her 3rd birthday. Hang in there, it will pass. Try to be gently stern about the requests, give a drink, a hug, and then it's back to bed. I hope you get some sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-49#post-1978768 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 13:28:26 +0000 Mamaof2 1978768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am pretty accommodating</p> <p>you need a drink - ok<br /> you need to pee again - ok<br /> you need another hug - ok</p> <p>but then I am DONE and I lock her gate and let her cry </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-49#post-1978752 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 13:25:37 +0000 BelugaBean 1978752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's sleep has been atrocious lately to say the least. She's waking up multiple times a night calling for me to come in her room. She's wanting me in there to sing her a song or wipe her face or something, all small things. She's doing this at bedtime and for nap too. It's taking hours to get her to go to sleep, she's waking up multiple times a night, and then waking up early. She was sick last week but seemed to have gotten better. I'm exhausted, as I'm sure she is too.</p> <p>Do I just let her cry? We did CIO in the past, I just hate it when we have to do that. But I also need a nap. I've gotten like 7-8 hours of sleep in two days. What would you do?</p> <p>Edit: She's almost 2.5. I just don't know if she's calling me in there to stall bedtime/naptime? </p>
