My daughter is going through the same exact thing around 3 or 4 am she knocks on our door to come lay with us and falls asleep. We both are too tired to fight as well. My daughter did have phenomena for like a month which is when this started And is currently teething right now. We’re trying the toddler proof door knob thing from amazing after the holidays that way she doesn’t leave her room instantly and waits for us or puts herself back in bed.
Omg this sounds exactly what we’re going thru! Had an amazing sleeper, transitioned to toddler bed over the summer, it was fine then bam 💥 effective in October my LO has been protesting sleep. I think we’ve had maybe 8days of a solids nights rest since October- runs in , we try to take him back to his bed sometimes it’s from 1-4am . We’re exhausted- we both work too. I have no advice- I won’t be writing any parenting books anytime soon but I can DEEPLY sympathize
I doubt it will continue forever. My son goes through phases were he sleeps great on his one and then phase where he wants To sleep with me. I used to fight and try and keep him in his bed but honestly I let Him now. He sleeps and I sleep. I also have a 6 month old and I just can’t be up with both, so I pick my battles. They will only be little for so long and soon won’t need us. I say if it doesn’t disturb yall sleep let him.
