Toddler coming in bed at night
Hi everyone. Just wondering if anyone is/has been in the same situation?
My three year old was sleeping fine in her own room all night until a few weeks ago and now she keeps getting into our bed in the night. We are trying to work on getting her back in her own bed by taking her back in whenever she comes in which can be up to 10 times a night, but it’s proving a struggle as I’m already so exhausted (26 weeks pregnant) and my partner doesn’t even wake up when she comes in.
Anyway, I’m not that fussed of her being in our bed for now, but my main concern is when the baby comes and is waking up multiple times a night which is gonna disturb her. I don’t know where it’s come from as she was doing absolutely fine in her own bed before this. I’m hoping it’s a phase. I just feel so anxious about when the baby comes and the whole sleeping situation! Any advice would be appreciated 😩

Just wanted to reply to say I sadly have no advice but in literally exactly the same boat. My daughter turned three a few weeks ago and I’m 26 weeks pregnant and it’s not the one. She strolled in this morning at 4am and wouldn’t go back to sleep til half 5 😵💫 like you were happy for her to be in bed for now but when baby comes off just not feasible. We are thinking about getting her a small double so at least if her sleep is still disrupted by March one of us can just go in her room and get in bed with her rather than her coming into ours x

Going through the exact same apart from it's been a couple of months for us! Our little boy is 3 next week. He's talked about monsters in his room and occasionally wakes up really scared so I think his imagination is at work and he's having bad dreams sometimes. We got to the point where he point blank refused to go back in his bed alone so I started co sleeping with him just to get through the stage of pregnancy where I felt wiped out. I tried him sleeping solo again properly a couple of nights ago and he managed until 5:30am which is a victory but then last night woke up at 9pm really upset so I was back to sharing with him 🙃 Im also anxious about when baby arrives as the room I'm currently sharing on and off with our toddler is the room I'd be sharing with baby initially and there's no way we'd all sleep soundly in there. Hoping it will sort itself out of the next few months with a bit of perseverance x
