dd1 came into our room this morning
« on: April 04, 2011, 13:11:32 pm »
We put dd1 (2 and a half) into her bgb two weeks ago, she has been great about it. She left her room one evening and I explained that she has to stay in there and she hasnt come out agin until this morning at 5 30am, I heard her crawl across the landing (she is still in a sleeping bag!!!) and go into our room, I was in dd2s room trying to settle her (she is a very bad sleeper). So by the time Id put screaming dd2 in her cot, dd1 was in bed with daddy and daddy said leave her there. I had been up what felt like all night and knew that trying to get them both back to sleep was going to be tricky and dh would have had a go at me , I know, so I left it. Now Im panicking that this is going to happen every morning. I am sleeping in dd2s room as dh has had enough of the sleepless nights so Im trying to let him have sleep, but its bad enough with dd2, i dont want to have another sleep problem developing in dd1 who has always been a brilliant sleeper.

any suggestions

Have you tried a stair gate at her door?

Or a nightlight on a timer? She can't leave her room until the light goes on to show it's morning?

I think they will be the next things I will try, especially if it happens again!!

We're going through something similar.  DD2 is still awake alot and DD1 has come into us a few times now.  Its DH's job to put her straight back to bed and settle her back to sleep.  No way I can do both.  If DH had his way he'd just let her into our bed but I don't want to go there seeing as she was doing so well.

Would DH take responsibility to get her back to bed?  Maybe point out its much less work that DD2 and he can choose which one he wants to deal with?

We've discussed it further this evening and he loves it!! I said that one night is lovely, yes, but imagine 4am, shes in the bed etc. Anyway I think Im going to have to get a gate for her room as DH will only cuddle up to her and let her stay!! Im waiting to see what happens tonight  :)
