the super nanny thing works yes... and thats how I get her in her own bed. but I cant stand to hear her cry. I was looking for an "easier" way to get her in her bed. I am not trying to torture her..

but she just wants to be up my butt...

I had that problem when my child was 2 y/o. I talked to a sleep disorder clinic.

I put the child's bed right next to mine and slept with my back to the child. There was crying. The clinic had me look at the child and pat the child on the back at timed intervals. Each time, the interval lasted longer.

It was a long night but it worked.

Eventually I got the child's bed farther away from mine.

Maybe call a sleep disorder clinic at one of the hospitals in your area.

I am guessing I need to just accept it? soon she will be all independant and not want to be with me at all huh?
Then I will be wanting to sleep with her..lol

I had this same problem a while back.. you may need to find something that will comfort her before bedtime, whether its a stuffed animal, a bedtime story, or bed time music has worked for us best. Also, do you have like a night time routine? That too hard worked good for us. I start at about 8:30pm and remind her every 10 minutes that bed time is at 9. She learns about the clock and time that way too. hehe

GOOD LUCK

Try turning a fan on in her room. The sound is comforting and it might work.

Try putting a separate bed in your room and gradually wean her from doing it.

i am not resorting to a medical reason why she wants to sleep with me. she is not in need of medical care.

she is an only child that is super bratty! and I guess that is what we need to break.

if its done right, then after a peroid of time you shouldn't have a problem, but if you are giving in then that isn't being consistant
