My 2 year old still doesn't sleep all night

[Lou3061985]

My 2 year old boy jake has started getting up at night n takin over an hour to go back down or gets up at 5am and that's him up. We have just moved him down stairs to a bigger room but he is still in his cot. Anybody got any advice???

My dd is 2 and just after her birthday (after 2 months of bad nights) we put her in a bed. Made a big thing about it, buying the covers etc. It has taken about a month of walking her back to bed without speaking to her - one night (we call it the night from hell) saw us repeating this throughout the night more than 30 times. I actually wish we had counted! After that she got better and is now only waking once a night if at all.

I have to say she is better with dh than me as she wants me to sleep next to her but she is better. I guess, however you choose to do it, be consistent and don't give in!

Good luck! x
