Someone tell me it gets better re toddler DS getting out of bed constantly

[AuntVictoria]

DS (nearly 3) has just worked out how to climb out his cot, so has been moved to a cot bed. He usually chats and sings to himself in his cot for about 20 mins before going to sleep, however, he is now (predictably) constantly getting out of bed instead. I've been quietly putting him back into bed every 30 seconds or so for half an hour, however, 8 month old DD desperately needed feeding so I had to allow him to get up to feed DD. I know this will make things worse in the long run

Someone tell me this gets better, and if you have any magic quick fixes, let me know!

It will get better I promise! Can you try a stick chart or a reward system for staying in bed till morning? We got a grow clock so out LO knows not to get out of bed when it’s blue only yellow.

A gro clock is a good idea, thanks. I've tried promising him a new dinosaur if he doesn't get up, which he seems excited about, but he then gets straight back up again. I am usually very patient and don't really get frustrated with DS's toddler behaviour, but I am really struggling with this! It's hard when DD can't go long stretches without me.
