Hi there my name is Nicola and I’m new to this page,I have 3 children 2 daughters aged 8 and 5 and a little boy who is nearly 3.My eldest daughter has cerebral palsy,Which affects mainly her legs,She can walk with her Kaye Walker but not unaided at the moment ..H has always been a good sleeper but as of late we are really struggling,Going to bed she takes ages to settle and says she isn’t comfy and no matter how many times I try and get her comfy nothink works,She will cry and whine and bite her hand and every time I ry and lie her back down she starts again,I have asked if she is in pain but I don’t think she is at all,We got her a new bed also but this hasn’t helped..I’m starting to wonder if this is a habit more than anything else now,Also she wakes during the night crying almost 6/7/8 times saying the same thing and nothing I say works.To say I am shattered is an understatement and I wondered if anybody has any advice at all please ? Thanks xx
