So basically this is not "normal"
We made an effort to keep her night routine consistent forever. If we try something new we do it for a good week at least ...
Most recent change has been moving her into her own room. But it hasn't made any difference. ..
But we do the same as everyone else does. We have dinner about 530/6. Then she has bath/shower. Then a nudie run then in pjs. And then we read on the couch or she plays a quiet game on the floor or couch with us. Then when she tells me its bed time we take her to bed. This is normally about 7ish/730. (We have tried earlier before she tells me. Wr have tried later by keeping her on the couch as long as possible). Then we go to her room (been over a month now) and daddy ssys good night and she ha ger nigh nighs milk which she pulls off herself when she is done. I sing to her (same set of songs her whole life) and when shes done I give her a cuddle and kiss tell her I love hrr and nigh nighs and lay her on her bed (its a single bed but legs taken off so it's only the height on the mattress). Oh teddy is involved. ..she does everything I do to her to her teddy itms.
Now this is where she wont stay still! She rolls and arxhes and stands on her head and kicks and throws hererlf around and cries. I make sure she stays on the bed. But ive tried everything! Except leave the room. Ive tried laying in bed with her (this does make it worse most of the time) ive tried sitting on the edge of the bed, sitting on the other side of the room. Ive tried the no talking or eye contact. Ive tried shhhing. Ive tried more singing ive tried patting and rubbing and drawing on her back. Ive even tried bf her more. But every night it's over an hr (very unpleasant hour) until she just stops fighting. And is then snoring.
If dh comes in to help it just seems to make it worse and we have to start again. And if I leave the room (with dh in there with her) all hell breaks loose.
I want someone in the room until she falls asleep. .at least for now. Esp if she is upset. I feel we are doing a version on cio...only cause she spends the whole time rolling around alternating between crying and screaming even tho we are in the room with her. But im just lost as to what else to do.
=(
Just want to add. She did this before we moved her, whwn she was still with us. Us moving her was one of our attempts to change things
