My dd is 2.2 yrs old and is normally a great sleeper.
Her normal routine is bath at 6.45 and then in bed for 7.15. We put her in toddler bed awake and she gets herself off to sleep in about 15 minutes and wakes anything from 6.30- 7.30am the next morning.
BUT.....for the past week her sleep has been awful. She is waking several times in the night, getting out of bed and standing at her gate shouting for us. We've had to sit with her each night until she falls asleep otherwise she gets straight out of bed and it is taking her about an hour to fall asleep. Then she's up every couple of hours and they only way to get her back to sleep is if we go lay with her in her bed until she falls back off.
I've tried explaining to her that getting out of bed is naughty and that she must stay in bed but clearly it's not working.
She has been in her toddler bed for 6 months now so it's not as if she's only just learnt that she can get out of bed.
We think she is scared which is why she is getting out of bed. We've put a night light in her room but that's not helping.
What do we do?
I'm worried that if we continue sitting with her until she goes to sleep that she will become reliant on us. But if we don't she would just be up all night.
And then how do we stop her from getting out of bed throughout the night?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
