I’m desperate to get my oldest in her own bed but I honestly don’t know where to start. Here’s a list of what I’ve tried so far.

*putting her bed in my room

*every night light possible (except the one that lights up for night time and day time or something like that)

*reading to her

*letting her keep the tv on

*sitting with her until she’s asleep

*putting her in her bed several times

*cry it out (for like 20 mins one time and then I caved)

*a set bed time routine

*letting her lay in there for so many minutes while I “do something” and going back in to check several times

*letting her dad put her to sleep

*reducing the snuggles a little for several days until we’re no longer intertwined like a wild vine lol

*white noise

*music

*bedtime meditation for kids

*reward charts

*prizes

*letting her cousin stay and “put her to sleep” (aka sleep in her bed with her) because her cousin is 10 and my oldest loves the sleepovers but still ends up in my bed

This kid won’t break 😅 we’re trying to get on a set bedtime schedule which I think will help but any other tips and advice will be greatly appreciated
