    I'm having problems with my 3 year old DD too. She used to be an angel but the last few months has taken to waking up at night. Going to sleep was an issue for a little while but now that's pretty under control, it's just the night waking that's killing me slowly....I keep praying that she'll go back to being an angel but it's been a month now of waking most nights (not every night thank god) and I'm losing hope!

    Our GP says it's separation anxiety so I feel bad for her but man I wish she'd get over it!!

    It's a rude shock when they've always slept well....

    Eliza too was a great sleeper too, so much I had to wake her fer feeds many years ago. She hit the talking stage and now is now knows the buttons that hurt mummy.Such as when I am working all day she has the but I havent seen you ALLLLL day, being a mummy is such hard work. No wonder no2 is taking so long, the fear of having 2 up makes me wonder if I will be doing camp outs for many years to come. But what is funny tonight she went down no problems...we may have a 3am wake up still but I miss her company LOL

    my 5 year old has finally just fallen asleep now!
    i hear you girlfriends. My DD is a night owl and her twin brother is a morning person. Sometimes i had 5 hours in between one going to sleep and one waking- and they are at school!!!
    The first time i got a full nite sleep was when they were 3 years old! and that was only once a week on a average
    tried everything as well
    just remember that they won't have sleeping issued when they are 21 years old!!
    its is a phase and they will get through it- we just have to keep sane whilst they are going through it!!!
    better go and get some sleep now as DS will be up in 6 hours!
