@Jackie honestly she was such an amazing sleeper, kept wanting to get in our bed and sleep with us, so j thought I’m gonna go for it and don’t get me wrong she’s had a few nights where she’s gone straight to sleep but the others are hell. She’s such a grown up little girly I could of kept her in the cot forever but did my other two at the same age and they were amazing x
Could’ve written this myself. We moved our little boy into his big boy bed few months ago ready for his new siblings arrival, who is now 1 month old. Wish we could’ve kept him in cot but he had worked out how to climb out he gets up multiple times comes into our room it’s so tiring some nights are better than others just have to be persistent but I think now is worse because of the 2 year sleep regression sometimes we do give up and just let him come in ours so we can all get some sleep! (After the last feed of the night for my newborn though!) x
@Joanne tonight’s been a better night, she went down on her own and has just woke up and gone straight back, she loves having the space as I got her a double bed but just the freedom as I put a stair gate on her room x
Yeah my little one about three months ago decided she’d only sleep in my bed and only if I’m with her. She won’t stay out if I leave the room. She was 21 months when it started. I’ve had to change the cot to a bed since cause she’ll climb out the cot. I haven’t found a solution other than roll with it unfortunately. I figure once she’s old enough to for reward charts and stickers I can work on her self settling once that’s sorted then the going to her own bed which is in my room anyroad. I’m single so it’s not much of an issue it’s just I’m her safe snuggly. She doesn’t nap during the day either. Won’t go down before 9pm up 3 times in the night sometimes for hours and extremely active during the day. I’ll just sit here and survive. She starts nursery in July so I can nap then
She might not be quite ready yet. My LO isn't ready yet and that's okay. We have previously done the 'pick up, put down method ' of sleep training to help teach our son how to self settle to sleep and nap in his bed. It's a no cry method. It will be hell for 2weeks or so but then suddenly get better so that might help with the transition. But also at 2yrs there's a big sleep regression so that might not be helping things either. Just keep trying, you'll get there. Just embrace those cuddles as one day they won't want too 💕
