Ok so i have tried to move Chelsea since she was 16 months...now nearing 21 months and still refuses to leave her cot (making poor Jasmine sleep in the Porta cot).

She has a gorgeous bed with nice linen, glow in the dark quilt...her teddies sleep in bed....but she WONT!

Chels tucks her doll in and shh nigh nigh baby....but wont hop in herself!

I really need the cot badly for Jasmine asap....otherwise come January ill have a newborn in the cradle...who will grow out of it and i wont have a bed for him/her to sleep in..and a 2nd cot isnt an option.

So how do i move her....????

I place night light on, tuck her in, say good night, make her comfy, love you's and kisses..then shut the door.

Then the screams and wall banging starts....

So i go in and she is standing by her cot asking for 'Up'..once in her cot goes to sleep straight away.
