[quote=Anonymous]Just turned two year old has always been a terrible sleeper. Has never really, truly STTN, it's just one regression after another. Naps are finally ok but she fights then about half the time. We have read every book, paid hundreds in sleep consultants. Our other kid sleeps like a champ, never needed sleep training, so we know it's just how she's wired.

The last month is somehow worse than anything we've gone though. I'm seriously about to have a breakdown. She's up every night, absolutely screaming bloody murder, waking her brother up, no one is sleeping. And I just feel terrible for her. Bedtime is at 7 and she will wake up between 12 and 2 screaming, then these are the scenarios:

1. We go in, soothe her, leave and she continues to scream for hours. 
2. We go in and stay while soothing her, but she won't go back to sleep and is up UNTIL NAP
3. We take her to the sofa and turn on the tv and she eventually crashes several hours later

I'm considering getting her a larger bed and just sleeping in there with her when this happens. Is that worse? Should I take her to a specialist? I'm really at a loss. No one in our house is sleeping and we are all miserable. Any advice appreciated.  [/quote]
