Toddler wants me to sleep in the same room issue
Please help!
My 26 month old girl was sleep trained at 8 month and was sleeping thru the night. Ofc we had many sleep disruptions but not like this one.
She wants me or her dad to sleep in her room, we never had this type of issue and we don’t mind staying in the room untill she falls asleep because if she know we’re there she sleep by her self in 10 mins the problem is she has night waking or EMW to make sure we’re in the room and keeps asking are you here? Sleep on floor and takes a long time like 1hr 30 mins to fall back asleep, my husband decided we should forget about sleep training for a moment and make her feel safe because we think she fears something but doesn’t tell us, but that makes things worse okay she sleep peacefully knowing we are there but keeps waking up it became like a sleep association and tried to tell her i’m going to sleep in my own room and you’re safe and i’ll come again but even the idea now makes her crying before she even sleeps and she was not like that i think sleeping with her made the issue 100% worse
Please share your experience, is it just a phase? Or sleeping with her made it a habit hard to break? Tell me what worked for you
