Thanks for your responses! Her dad did go in but she just screamed louder until I came so last night I let her cry and listened on the monitor to see if it sounded worse than a tired cry and it did not so I let it go and she fell back asleep. We peek on her to see if she is in a bad position or stranded so we'll see how it goes. Some nights are worse than others. GINNY, whatever works for you is up to you so I am not going to give flack, I just wouldn't want to do it personally because at this age they are not trying to be defiant, they are actually going through development phases where it is totally natural to practice new skills in the night. Punishing for that is really detrimental for growth and self confidence. I'd read up on some child development books and see what it says. There is some really interesting info about this toddler phase. At this age they are not being "bad" --small children are just experimenting and learning.
