My 2.5 year old DD has recently (last month) moved from cot to big bed. Since then, I've found her difficult to get PJs on ready for bed. Difficult but manageable.
But now, she will get up, out of bed in middle of the night once or twice to come looking for me. Sometimes I hear her heading downstairs before I manage to intervene!!!! I always take her back to her own bed. She doesn't appear to want anything in particular when she's awake.....sometimes she says she needs toilet/needs her covers on/needs more cuddly toys in bed but to be honest, she's half asleep sometimes! When she's gets out of bed, it generally isn't a big emotional drama- I literally just take her back to bed.
But I could do without waking up during the night when she generally wakes at 630am anyway (I'm fine with that - it works for our day).
How do I get her to stay in bed/stop waking up at night!? Do I put her cot back up in her room and the thought of going back into if be enough to keep her in bed!? I need to break the cycle!
Thanks in advance!
