Need some advice 🙄 Since she was 8 months old, she fell asleep on her own. We'd put her in her crib, give her a pacifier and a comforter toy, and she'd fall asleep quickly. At two years old, we started weaning her off the pacifier, and that's when the peaceful nights ended. At first, it was impossible to get her to sleep; it took about 1.5 hours. We'd rock her in our arms, lie beside her, and even tried leaving her alone. It was a nightmare... After three months, she started falling asleep on her own again, but something weird is going on with her sleep. Today she might fall asleep instantly, but tomorrow she'll run out of bed for an hour, playing around, and we have to put her back every time. It seems to repeat endlessly... Lying next to her isn't an option either—who's going to lie with her in daycare later? Plus, I tried lying next to her, but she still goes crazy, jumping and misbehaving... She's also started waking up at night just to play. Sometimes she wakes up at 3 AM and plays until 6 AM. She runs and jumps in bed, comes into our bed, and then jumps right on us... For the past three days, we can't settle down in the evening, from 9 PM to 11 PM 🤦️😭 My nerves are fraying. I'm all alone. My husband works shifts and won't be back for another 1.5 weeks. Has anyone else experienced this, where the child takes a long time to fall asleep in the evenings (and can run around all day, but it's worse at night)? What did you do? I tried reading stories, sitting with her, but she doesn't listen and just goes off to do her own thing. The lights are off, but she plays in the dark 😒
Может, у кого-то тоже накладывали швы, как вы их обрабатывали? Вчера дочка в саду разбила голову, на…

My daughter would fall asleep right before school 😅
We had one rule: don't get out of bed. So, I'd lie with her for 1.5 to 2 hours each time. Then, Alice came to my spot with an audiobook. And to this day, she won't sleep without a book.
At the kindergarten, she didn't sleep at all, just lay there.

Olga Tihonova Just wish she'd lie down, but instead she's running around playing with toys. I lead her to bed, and a couple of minutes later she's running again... My nerves are at their limit.

That's exactly it, putting her to sleep took two hours. As they say, I shudder when I remember it. I don't remember what I did, I did everything. I tried everything I could think of. My daughter needed to be talked to, my mouth wouldn't close, I had to be monotonous. Some needed songs, others silence and darkness, some needed their eyebrows stroked... I recited poems by heart and fell asleep to them myself... well, that was the time, what can you do. It passes

Lena Pugacheva but it didn't affect his sleep at daycare at all. They do everything better there than at home

Yes, I shudder just thinking about it. It happened right around when she turned 2. Then it normalized, and then it happened again.

I remember what helped me: I told her a wolf was coming to check if all the children were asleep. She was scared and fell asleep right away. It worked for a while. Yes, maybe it wasn't the best approach, but I was at my wit's end. But at night, she always slept well; if she fell asleep, she slept until morning.

She seemed to think sleep was for the weak anyway 😁😁. On New Year's Eve, she didn't sleep with us until 3-4 AM.
Tell me, what time does she wake up, when does she nap, and how long does she sleep during the day?

Mariya When we go to kindergarten, we wake up between 6:40 and 7:00.
Right now she's sick, so she gets up between 7:00 and 7:40.
I put her down for a nap around 1:00 PM, but if I can't get her to sleep, it can go as late as 3:00 PM😒
And sometimes she wakes up at 5 AM, like yesterday. By 11 AM she's already asleep for her afternoon nap, even though I didn't try to wake her up. She just wanted to sleep, and that's all there is to it.
