Sleep aponea in toddlers...should I start co-sleeping...arrggghhhh!!

I would say it might be easier for all of you to co-sleep for now and deal with seperation later. It sounds like your little girl needs you, and you might get more sleep too.

Hi,
My 2.5 year old had his tonsils and adneoids out when he was about 22 months old. He continuously stopped breathing at night and was a dreadful sleeper, and still is mind you. I just can't believe the long and drawn out process that you go through. I went to my GP and got a referral to the local ENT. We got into see him within a week, told him the story (my husband has sleep apneoa as well) and in 2 days my son was in hospital having the operation. He does not stop breathing during the night anymore and when he is asleep he is not tossing and turning - it's amazing. We just have to get him out of the co-sleeping habit now and everything will be perfect... LOL. I am just blown away with your waiting time and sleep overs etc. Dreadful!!! Good luck with it all - it is definitely worth it!

Does she seem to sleep better with you?

If she does think of it as being there when she needs you.....I agree with Dach, sometime they just need that. I have co-slept on and off with Darcy since birth. She still does sleep in her own bed....so it's not a habit I 'have to break' so to speak.

In regards to the tossing and turning I put a pillow in between us so she doesn't bother me so much. She can still touch me and know I'm there though.
