Kiddies over 3 still waking at night
« on: March 20, 2007, 11:44:01 am »
My 3 year old still wakes most nights and walks down to our room and I just need to know whether others are having the same problems and if you feel like it I would love to know what you are doing about it ?

TIA

every once in a while, jaina does come into our room & just kind of stands next to one of us until we wake up & notice her.  we simply take her back to her room & put her back in bed.

on occasion she comes with an empty cup (looking for water).  fill it on the way back to her room - again no talking or interaction.

Well, as you know ;) Liana doesn't go down well any night.  but since we have started weaning her dummy (gradually cutting it down) she now wakes every night around 4am.  I suspect she has always woken around then but has been able to use her dummy to put herself back to sleep.  Not any more!!!!!!  Still trying to figure out how to solve the problem.  Currently we just keep taking her back to her room ::)

up until age 3 my older dd would do her nightly raid into our bed--she would be so good at sneaking in we wold often not wake.  When i was pregnant with our second dd , we started taking her back to her rom--she made quite the fuss then!  What finally helped was one day, when we were having quiet time i explained to her that we all needed sleep and that mummy and daddy would be much less grumpy if we slept well at night.  After that she didn't come in anymore!

Nathan was still coming into my room when he was 4.  I did a reward chart for him and when he had slept for 10 nights in a row then he got a gift of his choice (within reason).  I had to do something, Alex started night wakings after previously being an excellent sleeper, I was exhausted!!

I'm going through a patch of night wakings at the moment but I'm not sure whether it is illness related
Anyway, she usually sleeps pretty much 10-11hrs a night but we do get the odd n/w - however there has to be interaction as she will not get out of bed and shouts until one of us goes to settle her!!!
