My niece can't get to sleep..HELP?

Question

hello. I have a 3 year old niece that lives with my family. (my mother, father, and myself). Due to a bad situation this is her permanent home. She couldn't get to sleep the first night she was here so I got my guitar and sang her a soothing song and she went right to sleep.

Well now she can't get to sleep unless I play it. I've tried recording myself playing it, burning it to cd, and putting it on repeat for her but that doesn't work. So I've been singing to her every night! How can I get her to sleep without singing to her.

this is the song if your curious : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WveZbFfQLA

Answer 1

awww how sweet.. just do it for love..  for a while longer..you're a good aunty  hehehe shes still only a baby and has been through a hard time... she will grow out of it eventually, its probably a huge comfort to her for now and takes her mind off things..maybe make the songs shorter each night.. just a little and read a story after, a nice peaceful one,, gradually wean her off.
