Sleeping in own bed

Something my little one has never been very good at is firstly settling herself to sleep alone and secondly staying in her own bed, we've had good stages and not so good ones. At the moment shes struggling to fall asleep alone, but today we went to Ikea and I saw a bed tent which I bought for her, she was so excited to try it out, even wanting to skip supper and story time (we did both though, as I knew the novelty would probably wear off after 5 mins in there!), Anyway I took her to bed at 7:15, put her in her bed with the bed tent and by 7:30 she was fast asleep!!!! I'm thrilled at how it has worked, yes the novelty is likely to wear off, but the big thing is I know she can fall asleep alone if she wants to! Here is a photo of the bed tent we bought (this is not her bed though). I guess its worth a try for anyone out there struggling to settle their toddlers on an evening!
