I am looking for ideas in getting my 21 month old to sleep at night. Sleep has been an issue since she was born, but for a few months we were going pretty well. DD sleeps in a king single bed in her own room which is just across the hall from our room.

Currently, DH or i sit with her next to the bed until she goes to sleep. This worked ok for awhile (started after she no longer breastfed to sleep), but now can take hours while she flips and flops and cries and kicks the wall- it's not fun for her or us.

We have tried going to bed earlier, later, reading books in the bedroom... it just seems that it is taking her longer and longer to get to sleep.

DH thinks we need to go supernanny or similar, moreso out of frustration cos what we have tried hasn't worked than out of belief in those techniques. I need to try something else, but am out of ideas.
