[quote=Anonymous]I have no advice just sympathy ... I don't know how you parents with bad sleepers do it.  No judgement I just freaking feel bad for her.  Both my kids are amazing sleepers.  Have been since birth.

We did have one instance where my older one went through a sleep regression (right around 2 years old).  Thankfully she was still in her crib and couldn't get out.  I would go in once when she cried out initially to make sure she didn't poop herself or have a fever and then that was it.  She could cry the rest of the night if she wanted to.  I refused to go in again.  She got over it within a week.  Went right back to sleeping 12 hours at night straight.

I do think 2 year olds can be manipulative though.  I know mine can.  She stalls at night all the time. "mommy I need a band aid, I need this stuffed animal, that stuff animal, my slippers" etc.  I usually comply to a few things then I just say thats enough I love you and goodnight.  I stay firm.

I also have a younger kid who sleeps right down the hall from the older kid and she never woke up when the older one went through her screaming fits.  Sound machine, fan and closed the door to both kids rooms.

Good luck!  Stay firm! [/quote]
