Thanks beata.. Appreciate your words of support.

Tan - we do bath, dinner, play, night nappy, cup of milk in her room with daddy, prayers and bed. We have done that pretty much since she was born.

Tonight it took a nappy change (even though it was clean) and a second cup of milk before she settled.

I was putting her back into bed and saying "listen to mummy, it's time for sleeping, ok?" and she was rubbing her eyes, nodding and saying "yep". Then I said "I want you to stay in bed and go to sleep." More nodding, rubbing, yep. Then again, "it's time for sleeping."

I'd go to the door and say it again and she'd be still in bed, nodding, rubbing... But as soon as the door was closed, she'd be out of bed crying.
