Help!! I am putting this in the heath forum as I am unsure if what my little girl has is behavioural or a health issue. My daughter is 19 months, has never been a good sleeper since birth (2-3 hrs on the trot, max) Is very highly strung and never has many daytime naps - impossible to get her to go down for more than about an hour half and that is a fight. She goes in her cot - regulaly at 8-9pm (we live in Spain and it is hotter here) It takes her at least 45 mins to settle. The main issue being if I leave her on her own (she can't see me sat in the doorway) she vomits immediately. I can't even have a quick wee. She also does the same thing in the day if I leave her in the lounge and hang the washing on the terrace (she can see me throught the window) or if I leave her in the playpen and go into another room. It doesn't always happen in the day, but she will ALWAYS vomit at night. If she is cleaned up and left again (when we tried the cry it out method) she will vomit repeatedly until she is very distressed. We can't leave her with my parents, even though she spends every morning with my Mum while I work. Mums says I spoil her and that it is my own fault, but she had colic from birth until 4 months and then the vomiting started. I have HAD to be near her in her cot. Does anyone have a solution? It cannot take 2 -3 hours every evening to settle my child. This is NOT normal. After she is sick she is so upset I have to lie her on our bed until she drops off (very quickly). I don't consider myself a pushover, neither a cruel person. I am a regular authopritatiove parent who is struggling to deal with an ongoing, worsening issue. I have an appointment with the doctor today but they never seem to helpmuch over here. Anyone any advicce or experience? Many thanks in advance, from a desperate mother in the sweating heat (sorry!)
