Why won't she sleep anymore!

16 month old DD slept 7pm to 7am from being a few months old. Always loved naps ect.
A few weeks ago we had to put her into a toddler bed as she was diving (quite litrally) head first out of her cot.
First week or so was brilliant slept as usual, now all of a sudden she won't actually go to bed she just keeps getting back out. We put her back and this continues for a few hours.
Then she will wake around 4.30/5 and want to be up and awake.
We put her back again and eventually she will go off again for another hour ish but daytime naps are now the same that she won't stay in bed !
What the hell do I do? We are having another baby this week and dreading having to try and negotiate her sleeping and being awake with a newborn!

I think it's quite normal really, she finds it fun being able to get up by herself.

I'd just be consistent with putting her back to bed without giving her any attention and eventually she'll stop doing it. May take a while though.
