Cot Jumper!! Help

[kafka]

dd is just two and is vaulting out of her cot in her grobag - and have only just got her to bed!! She has recently become very upset at bedtime and super clingy of me e.g. when I am at work, only 2 days, she is sad and tearful bursts into tears if she comes across my things

No experience of this as ds stayed in cot till almost three and then went into a bed and took him months to realise he could get out.

What to do? In a panic as dh and I going on second honeymoon in one month and children staying with my mum for a week - dd is unused to being away from us

put her in bed.
you may have to put her back in a couple of hundred dozen times the first night but keep at it.
she might surprise you if you just put her in bed.

another thing to consider is a stairgate on the room? if you dont want her escaping... but then, its prob the physical barrier to her freedom that shes objecting to.

mine all went in beds way younger than 2. ds1 was barely 12m. they all loved the change.

you can get guardrails if worried about falling out.

ok thanks, yes resigned to taking apart the bunk beds tonight and she likes to throw herself off the top bunk!!

there is no known cure for cot jumping I suppose, anyone kept putting them back in the cot a hundred times and did it work?

moving to a bed is the safest solution. both of mine were in beds before they were 2 as they could climb out of the cot

She is now in a bed but will not stay in, calmly returned her for hours last night, she eventualy fell asleep on the floor at about 2300 she normally goes off at six thirty when she was in a cot, also she refused to go down for her lunch time sleep - getting desperate, please help

I am bumping this as bedtime is approaching!!

We took the side off our cot. So she's still on the nice, low cot mattress, but can get in and out without climbing. That was from about 18 months.

At mum's can she sleep on a mattress on the floor, with a gate across the door?
