Hi Mitch, just another thought - does her "cuddly" mean a sleep buddy? Our DS has his buddy "Big Bear" that he sleeps with and has done since he was about 8 months old. He also sleeps in a fleece sleep suit so he doesn't get cold as he won't sleep under blankets. For bed we dress him in a short sleeved all-in-one body suit, then his long sleeved pj's and then his fleece sleep suit. We've tried sleeping bags but he doesn't like them as he can't stand up properly in them so the sleep suits works better and ensures he stays warm throughout the night. Whilst it's vbeen very cold down here in Melbourne we've put an oli hear on very low as well to take the chill off the air. We also have a lullaby CD that we play continuously all night as well on very softly so when he wakes up he can hear familiar music and it seems to comfort him as he does wake but after an initial cry (just one or 2) he's back to sleep. Finally it might be working or he might just be growing out of his sleep problems as he's slept through 5 nights in a row now!
We did try bringing him into our bed but it didn't work as he thought it was play time not sleep time.
