I’m honestly on my last nerve with this. For the last few months my toddler has been so difficult to get to bed, she would climb out of her cot and come back downstairs as soon as I put her to bed about 15 times until she finally fell asleep and even then it was only if I gave her a bottle of milk to take up.
Switched to a toddler bed a month or so ago and no change.
She still goes to bed so late (maybe 10.30 earliest) but I have figured out that I only have to put her upstairs once if I send her with her milk and peppa pig to watch on her tablet, she will just watch until she falls asleep and not bother coming downstairs.
Obviously I don’t want to rely on bottles and the tablet but that’s a seperate issue.
Every single night between 3-4.30ish she will wake the house up crying and make her way into my room, where she refuses to lay between me and DH but instead insists on laying on the very edge of the bed on my side, so then I’m awake til morning holding onto her to stop her falling out. She just screams if I try and move her between us. Not sure why as she gets on with her dad the rest of the time 
.
My issue is that I’m 34 weeks pregnant with my second who will soon be taking my toddlers space next to me with the crib and obviously I don’t want a 2.5 stone toddler rolling into it.
Has anyone had this issue or know how to fix it?
I’ve tried cutting her nap down to less than an hour but literally no change. I can’t take the nap away completely as she gets over tired and cries for hours.
Thanks to anyone who has any advise! I just want her to sleep from 8pm til morning in her own bed!
