    OHHHH!!!! Forgot to say that she says I AM AFFECTING HER DEVELOPMENT!! Because if she wakes during the night, she is being sleep deprived and so during the day she won't learn properly etc!!
    She equated it to being on a long-haul flight and being dead tired but not being able to sleep... apparently this is what I am doing to DD!! She wants to sleep, but I haven't taught her how to self-settle!

    I tend to think that DD just needs to eat bigger portions, and have more meat, as her diet is mostly vegetables, fruits, grains. Maybe this could be the cause for the low weight?? And easily fixed too!

    Sorry but that mchn is full of ****. My 25 month old still doesn't sleep through the night and she hasn't had boobie since 3 months old. Just last night I was in her bed all night getting woken every 20-40mins. It's a stage she's going through or possibly just how much sleep she needs.
