He was always the perfect sleeper ever since the day we brought him home from the hospital. He would wake to be fed once and then changed once. I am longing for those days again.
He now either will not go to bed and it takes up to 5 hours to get him to go to sleep or he goes to sleep with no troubles and wakes up one or more times.
Did anything like this happen to you at the Three Years stage? What are some tips you would give to someone in our situation?
- We have tried getting him a nightlight because he said that it was to dark.
- We have tried getting him a big boy bed (single size) because his toddler bed was to small or so he says.
- We have tried sleeping with him/in his room/new stuffed toy and this all still never changed anything.
- We have had to talk to the ghost in his room that doesn't want to stop talking at night.
- The cat has to sleep on his bed (lets face it that's that makes two loosing battles in one night)
- The window had to be open/ closed. The door open/closed. The hall light on/off. This blanket or that blanket.
While we have tired everything on that list still nothing has changed except our hydro bill.
How many of you have this reoccurring problem every night?
What are some ways you have got you child to sleep through the night?

Welcome! :) Something we tried with lil man & lil miss was "Monster Spray", which consisted of a squirt or three of a scented body spray to keep the monsters away. Lil man had vanilla & lil miss had cotton candy. We even used a squirt or two of one of my perfume's, kind of a mom comfort thing. Another thing I did for lil miss was bought her a dream catcher to hang over her bed. They have both even had their times of leaving their tv's on for comfort. Hope you get some sleep soon.
