Sleep Problems in a Preschooler

My daughter is 3 1/2 and NEVER sleeps through the night. She was a great sleeper from 6 months until about 18 months, but starting at that point she began fighting us about bedtimes and then waking constantly throughout the night. When we put her to bed she screams and whines for hours, getting out of her bed and standing at her door asking us to come and cover her up again, read her another book, get her a drink, find her security blanket (lost in her bedcovers), etc. We almost always end up giving in to her screaming and whining after...

Seeking Advice for 20 Month Old Who Will Not Sleep past 5:15 Am

Does anyone have any advice about a 20 month old boy who wakes up every morning between 5 and 6 am? If I am lucky it is 6:15 but that is rare! He sleeps well at nap time, usually around 1 to 3 or 3:30. And he goes to bed at night between 7:30 and 8. I have tried putting him to bed earlier around 6:15 but not for many months and that did not seem to make any difference. He is not waking up from light or noise or cold . . . what is going on?

Looking for New Ideas to Get My Toddler to Sleep on Her Bed.

I am a working mom of a 27 month old girl. I have been having trouble putting my baby to sleep in her own bed. When she an infant she did fine sleeping in her crib, but lately she only wants to sleep in my bed. I have tried putting her to sleep in her own bed, but she completely refuses and gets really upset, so I end up giving up because it hurts me to see her cry so much and I take her to my bed. I know that's not good, but I don't know what else to do. I have tried getting her things such as a blanket with her favorite character,but...

Seeking Help with 6 Month Old Self Soothing

I am a first time mom and since the day he was born I have rocked my little one to sleep. He is a good baby and it rarely takes more than 10-15 minutes to rock him and put him in his crib, total. But my husband and I are at the point that we think it is time for him to soothe himself. Any advice on what to do now to help him go to sleep on his on. He does take a pacifier and loves to sleep to classical music.
