Where Should Your Child Sleep?
Quote From: tiffany_2007Have you guys thought about doing steps, like having a toddler bed in her mothers room and getting her first to sleep in that, and then next step move her into her own room. Even a 20 month old can have alot of stress, and having to sleep alone is stress for a 2 year old. Its not like if you dont break her of this now that your sister will always have a daughter that sleeps with her, but if your sister is willing I would try slow steps to not put too much stress. Just my opinion.
Just to let you know I too have a older sister that went through the same thing, this is what she tried and it worked great. Maybe ur sister should try to sit up with her and rock her to sleep....then when u both know that Alexis is asleep then put her down in the crib.It will probably take a lot of time and patience but she can only fight it for so long.Dont give up.Alexis will get used to it if u persist and keep up the routine.And eventually she will be ready to sleep on her own...she wont want to be babied...kids do grow up and want to be independant.So in my opinion i wouldnt worry too much.Enjoy the clinginess,it wont last forever.At least that is what i would do.But u never know,i could be wrong or totally right on the nose...lol...who knows?
