The answer to this really depends a lot on your particular relationship.

I would be inclined to suggest setting a regular time and including reading a bed time story as part of the routine.

And reassure her that even if you have to stay up after she is asleep, you will be there with her when she wakes up in the morning.

Not sure if that is any help, I hope you work something out.

I think you should try to understand where she is coming from, first and most importantly. Ask her why she doesn't want to sleep alone for a couple of hours. Hug her, hold her, give her lots of little kisses, and in that light (always considering current level of sensitivity) explain why you cannot come to bed at that moment. Promise to do something she loves tomorrow. Keep up the level of closeness and intimacy in other ways. Find rituals that nurture your little girl, and you both enjoy, then include them in a sweet night time routine. When she wakes up let her know how much you missed her.

Or make mornings really special!

Also, remember not to take yourself too seriously. Sometimes baby girl needs Daddy a little longer before she can fall asleep on her own, and 5 extra minutes of cuddling are what she needs then. You could also try cuddling until she falls asleep and then going back to work, or doing this until she is able to sleep on her own.

 

Just some ideas

 

Good luck
