Toddler sleep

[Ste7hunt]

Hi, 2 and a half year old daughter keeps waking up in the night and wanting one of us, usually her mom. We have to go into her and wait with her till she falls asleep. She can sometimes do this 3-4 times a night, sometimes she wakes up and opens her door and comes into our room. We straight away take her back to her room but have to stay with her till she falls asleep. If we try and leave before she is asleep then she just sits on her bed screaming. When we first but her down for bed again we have to wait with her till she falls asleep. She has always slept through apart ftom this last few months were she has started to do this. How do we get back to her sleeping through and not waking and wanting us, we are so tired.

We had this exactly the same age after he always slept through. We had changed him from cot to bed and he was fine at first. Then he suddenly started to get out of bed and turned up upstairs. He kept turning up no matter what we did and so we installed a stairgate on his bedroom door and we left him to cry a bit longer each night. His wake ups changed from 4 times a night to one a night and this week we have had one wake up at 7am. When he wakes its now easy, I go in and tell him to get to bed and go back upstairs. Its taken a couple of months altogether to get where we are now. We also got a gro clock too so he stays in bed until the clock turns yellow.

My niece started doing this, same age. She would get up around 3 in the morning and come into my sisters bed. They got her a gro-clock and she understood the concept right away, now doesn't get out of bed until 6
