KML - I took her to bed b/c me being in the back bed didn't work, me being next to her bed (on the floor holding her hand) didn't work, and I was exhausted and at least lying down.
What happened before exBF left was that she woke all night. So I nightweaned her and he tended to her at night (b/c I was still day nursing) and then she grew attached to having him around at night. For the most part, she slept well at night for a good 8 months. Started sleeping through the night - but still waking here and there and prone to that overtiredness. But then when things started to get really rocky she would wake for 4 hours at night and the doc said she was overtired, so we got her on a schedule and that helped (when exBF was here). Then the nights he wasn't, she's stay up all night (not crying, just lying there).
