i know this is the wrong section but i duno what else to do! the girls are not sleepin at night and i duno what to do lesha has been ill and was in our bed for 2 nights and now keeps waking up and wanting to come bk in so we put her in bed and she screams and crys for about 3 hours then caitlin god where to start! shes fine all day and once asleep and in bed for about the first 2/3 hours shes fine then starts screaming and crying and lifting her legs! can toddlers still get collic?
to make it worse i can hear the neighbours moaning everytime they cry and i know cant be nice hearing toddlers crying till 2 am but i cant help it

oh heck, I dont know what to suggest Firstly, bugger the neighbours, its not your fault or the girls fault, they're just kids. Am I right in thinking you are in your new house?? Maybe the change has unsettled them a bit? Toddlers dont get colic but she may have an upset tummy. I think with Lesha, maybe its a habit now of wanting to come into your bed and the only way to do that is to stop doing it BUT thats easier said than done with 2 of them crying. cant think of anything else chick sorry xx

i dont think toddlers can get colic but evan gets bad wind all the time and it usually effects him at bedtime - he has been loads better since i stopped his bedtime milk! so it could be that! try giving her some calpol before bed or try to find out whats causing her to have wind (if it is that although sounds very similar to the way evan acts and im convinced his was the milk) and stop giving her it, this would mean trial and error until u discovered what it was though

with lesha its def a case of she is in the habit of being in ur bed, again evan is the same and the only way u can change it is to leave her to cry and continue to put her back to bed until she gets the hint that she has to stay in her own bed! its hard especially with 2 as she may wake caitlin up but it should only take a few nights for her to get back into routine

Aww, Char -
My 1st thought maybe that the move has unsettled then a bit, and with being ill too
Are they in the same room? could you maybe try the gradual retreat method? Settling them both down and you sit near the bed, gradually move bit by bit towards the door until they are asleep and you eventually reach the door.

Or maybe try some very low music/radio, just to distract them from what ever is upsettling them. I found its worked for O in the past when he's had these periods of not settling at bed time.

Ps, frig the neighbours - tell them to stick some ear plugs in.
They will settle soon enough, I just think you have all been through a lot these past few months and it probably getting to you all. xxx

My first thoughts were the moving home too but i know what u mean where you think its colic because callum does it he wakes up screamnig like he use to with colic doing the same with his tummy and legs i put it down to tummy ache x
I would also definately recomend the radio we do that when it happens to us and really works a treat x Hope they start sleeping soon xx
