I feel like I'm going bonkers with lack of sleep and I'm at the end of my rope. Our 23 month old has been in a bed for about a month. She is getting used to it but wakes up every night many times screaming and crying. She has never been a good sleeper she's slept through the night about 10 times in her life, she was still having milk and we've knocked that on the head. She is tenacious and tells me she doesn't want to go to sleep she wants to stay awake all of the time. It would be fine if she stayed awake in her room but she wakes and then wants us to know she is awake. I thought it might be night terrors but I don't think it is. I thought it was the dark but a lamp has made no difference. We've talked about what she'd like in her room and she chooses what the wear in bed and what books she'd like to read.
I don't know what on earth to do. I get so angry with her usually shouting at her is the only way to get her to sleep.
Sorry very long post. If you have any tips at all please post I'm desperate.
Ps she wakes up the baby too
