Toddler Co-sleeping and moving around

[bananainpjs]

My 2 year old start off in the cot happily but around 12am starts asking to be moved into the bed. Because I am so tired, I oblige.
He only started doing this every so often but not it’s everyday!

Plus the heart ache of seeing him cry to the point he starts gipping at midnight, I just can’t deal with it.

He used to sleep really well in our bed but lately he moves around a lot, takes the duvet off and wakes up, moves around etc. It’s affecting my and my husbands sleep.

He seems okay in the morning but surely he isn’t getting enough quality sleep? He sleeps 8/9pm to 6am so not the recommended 12 hours. He has a 2 hour nap in the afternoon.

I think he’s too warm and the bed does get warm. We have a memory foam mattress.

Any suggestions? Should I be making him sleep through in the cot?

It’s like he’s had a sleep regression!

Hi there- mine did this and I just got him his own small duvet or toddler sleeping bag to use when he came in to our bed- this made it a lot more comfortable for everyone. I was quite relaxed about him cosleeping if he needed to and in time he decided to sleep in his own bed when he was ready. Good luck!

Honestly just keep them in their own bed. You all need good sleep, its really important for their development and your sanity. You'll have a few night/week of hard going but it will pay off. Just either dont get them up, or of they're coming in themselves then silently take them back to bed each time

Yeah we struggled with this too. Mine is a very wriggly sleeper and I felt awful doing it but we had to put her back to her own bed. She actually sleeps much more soundly there. I don't regret that we tried cosleeping though, it was what she needed at the time it jus became a habit.
