A member asked:

My 2 year old daughter lately sleeps on my chest. she was an independent sleeper used to suck her middle fingers to soothe herself. we try to get her nap between 12-2pm( 1 hour) & then sleeps at 8pm & awakes 11pm and cries till 2am. what must i do?

Sleep habits: You may need to retrain her sleep habits. Get her calmed down and ready for bed, then put her in bed and leave the room. If she cries, go back in and calm her again. But don't turn on the lights, get her up and hold her. You may need to go back in 5 min, 10 min, etc until she falls asleep. If she wakes in the night, do the same thing. It will take a few days for her to learn.
