Two-year old getting to sleep


Posted by Mace on July 12, 2000 at 13:51:41:

Hi,

my two year old sleeps well when he's down, but is having a hard time falling asleep. It takes us an hour or more to rock him/ read to him/ cuddle him until he goes down, and then he's transferred to his own bed. If we put him down before he's asleep, he faunches and spins around in the bed trying to get to sleep but can't seem to get comfortable - and getting him to sleep this way costs us two hours a day (he still naps - taking away the nap doesn't work). Any ideas on how to get him to settle himself? He's no longer in a crib, so letting him cry is not an option anymore.
