| You could start by telling her she HAS to stay in her own bed because she is a BIG girl now and you can also lock your bedroom door so she can't come in. Then she will either HAVE to return to her own bed or else fall asleep outside your door on the floor. After a few nights of it though I bet she will stay in her own room for good. (Tough Love). ↑ |
| Thanks for the advice. I have to try something because she keeps us up all night. She also has to have her sippy cup and drinks all night. Another bad habit we need to break somehow. ↑ |
Install a babygate on her bedroom doorway so that she can't get out of her room.
Give her a little night light. ↑ |
| You have to remember that YOU are the parent and YOU must show her that SHE adapts to YOUR schedule,NOT the other way around. If she must drink during the nightthen set a sipy cup of water in her room when she goes to sleep this way when she wakes up wanting water it's already there for her in her room.She may whine and cry when you won't let her in your room or get up with her and it may take several nights before she "gets it" but eventually if her calls for you go unanswered in the night then she will eventually stop it and soon be staying in her own bedroom all night. As long as you are catering to her every whim she will continue to give you sleepless nights. You may feel bad at first for not running to her but once you stop your behavior then she will soon stop hers. (tough love)! ↑ |
| (or once you stop reacting to her behavior she will soon stop her behavior) is what i meant to say! :) ↑ |
| i had the same prob with my little girl. i got her out of this by buying her a bed duvet cover of dora the explorer as she loves her and now she loves sleeping in her own bed ↑ |
| Thanks for your responses. We are getting her a "Big Girl" bed soon. I will try the advice and keep you posted. ↑ |
