To worry about DD starting sleepovers

[Jan20]

I know I probably am but I'm just worrying so much.
DD is 2 and starts staying at her dad's in a month once a week. My worry is that DD wakes 3/4 times a night and will only settle back down for me and ends up getting in with me during the night which won't be an option apparently at dads.
Im so worried this will happen when she's at her dads and I won't be told. Im worried she'll be so upset and not be able to get back to sleep. I probably sound like a real drama queen but it's giving me such anxiety I'm hardly sleeping.
Is there anything I can try and do to help before or is it just a case and wait and see?

Wait and see, calm yourself down about it otherwise she's going to pick up on your energy. See how it goes, kids do sleep better/worse in different settings, she might be fine.

Yeah that's what I'm hoping, the going to sleep I know will be easy it's if she wakes up. Maybe I'm more worried I won't sleep without her here 😂. Need to see the positives I suppose that I'll actually get a full nights sleep!

Yes do try and be positive. And as much as her dad is saying she won't end up in his bed etc once he's actually in that situation and she's crying at 2am for example I'm pretty sure she'll end up in his bed so he can sleep too!! If he's never had a sleepover with her before just ignore what he's saying he'll soon learn. Try and be relaxed and positive even just for her sake x

Yes that's true, it will either let her get in or lay on the floor next to her, I know which one I prefer 😂

I think I once said we’ve never have a toddler in our bed …
He’ll have to do something if she wakes.

Firstly kids adapt. My daughter only contact napped yet at nursery she sleeps fine when just plonked in a cot.

secondly, what have you done to try and help this multiple night wakings in the lead up to this?

thirdly, it’s normal to worry, but in the long run it will be positive, so think ahead and try to take advantage of your nights with some sleep!

In the last few months I've started making sure she goes to sleep in her own bed and try and try to make sure she stays in it all night but most of the time she won't and just wants to get in with me. She's always woken multiple times a night and it doesn't matter what she's done in the day nap wise or what time she goes to sleep she'll always wake every 3 hours.
