I feel your pain, bedtime disasters are awful, I love my kids but I need a bit of time at the end of the day to myself! I had this issue with my 5 year old as well as dreadful sleeping issues with my baby so was a mess. I used a sleep consultant who said to be firm and advised I use the super nanny technique but just like you describe it led to an even worse bedtime with hysterical screaming and then night waking from him as well as the baby! After seeing the glowing reports about Nicola Watson from Child Sleep Solutions on here we gave it another go with her and her much gentler approach worked amazingly!! The key to resolving both of their issues was in the detail I think and getting everything perfect so that sleep came easier. If you can stretch to it I really recommend you give her a call and get your evenings back, it is so worth it!

I just wanted to thank you so much for posting this. We used Nicola at Child Sleep Solutions after seeing this and it has transformed our lives. We had already used another sleep consultant and were not really happy with what she suggested but we did it anyway and it was a disaster so we were really dubious about the whole thing but were so desperate for some sleep after reading these posts we thought we would give it a try. Thank goodness we did! The difference is nothing short of a miracle, not only am I a much nicer person to be around but I feel I am getting to know my real children now too; now they are not tired they are just different kids and life is so much more fun! I have never posted on here before but I thought I should bite the bullet and thank you for taking the time to post when you did.
