To ask help to try and get my three year old to go to sleep

I know im probably one of the lucky ones. My daughter has always been a great sleeper and once asleep she'll sleep through to 7-8am which I recognise is wonderful. But from newborn she has been a pain to get to sleep. And we've just transitioned her into a bed rather than a cot for her third birthday and it's even worse now cos she can get out and keeps coming downstairs. We have a Stairgate but she's already worked out how to open it.

Any advice. We take ages getting her calm and tucked up but she'll try and sleep for about thirty seconds and then say it didn't work.

If either of us try and stay with her she just gets out and starts using us as a climbing frame.

Any help to get her to sleep is appreciated. It's taking about 2 hours at the moment

No advice, just solidarity here

My dd is 5 and takes at least 2 hours to go to sleep. She's autistic so we follow the exact same routine daily, but still takes two hours. I bring earphones and scroll on tiktok and mumsnet ❤️

I'll be ditching tiktok as of January 😫😫 dunno how ill cope

No advice bedtime takes up to two hours here and then unless I co-sleep they're all up every hour or two through the night!

Happy Christmas!
