2.5yr old moved to a big girl bed last week. She loved it and first few nights went straight to sleep (even though she knew she could get out of it). Last night she was like a jack in the box for 3.5 hours. Just kept putting her back in (losing my temper I must admit). In the end I put her back in her cot (10:30pm by that point) and she was asleep within 10mins. I popped her back into her big bed and she slept through.
We are now at nap time with a very tired child and she has done the same again. I’m currently sat on her bedroom floor not engaging.
This is a girl who has been brilliant at going to sleep since she was 6months old. Now I know that this can happen but for 3.5 hours?! Why?! I’m so ill and tired and feel like packing it in.
I don’t want to sit in her room and start a habit like that but it seems to be working. Is it really normal for 3.5hours constant getting out of bed?!
She needs a bigger bed as she is just too big for the cot and wakes up in the night with all sorts of funny positions.
