Toddler won’t stay in her bed… help!!!!

[Littlemuffin17]

Hi!
I have an almost 3 year old and 6 month old. The 6 month old is still in our room but I’m desperate to move her to her own room now.
we live in an old farm house with a strange layout where our toddler has to walk through the nursery to get to our room easily. Recently our toddler has just started getting out her bed loads and just asks us to sleep with her… it can be 7/8 times and I constantly keep putting her back.

I don’t feel like I can move my 6 month old until the toddler is sorted with sleeping again. Any advice please??? I’m so close to caving and letting her sleep with us but I know that’s totally the wrong move.

does the 6 month old sleep well? If so put them in together? Older sibling might settle better, mine did.

My 6year old dgd creeps out of bed and slides in with her dm every night. I'm sure it's quite common. At the end of the day it doesn't do any harm but you might not like having a small child in with you. Maybe a baby gate across the doorway?

Does she have a night light? If not I'd try getting one.

Make sure she's tired enough at bedtime, drop or reduce any naps. If she's not napping make sure she's getting enough exercise and stimulation during the day. Or if you think she's overtired try putting her to bed earlier.

Get a gro clock.

And just carry on putting her back. Be firm and swift, no chatting/cajoling, just straight back to bed.

We all slept in the same room at that age. I don’t think any decision is “the wrong move”.

Agree re gro clock. I can’t be doing with my 3 year old in my bed so I agree do the hard work now for long term sanity.

Stairgate on her door?
