2yr old - how do u handle visiting mum & dad in middle of night?

[Wishiwasanheiress]

Dd is two. She's recently moved into a bed. Dd2 is 4wks so sleeps in with us. When dd1 wakes in the night she naturally comes to find us. How should I handle this? I am worried that an occasional visit will rocket into spending more nights with us than not....

Dh is of the path of least persuasion and tends to fling back the covers and says hop in. Mainly coz its 2am. I do feel for this but I'm tryi g to feed/deal with new baby all night. Aibu to think he could get up and take her back to bed? Should I? Am I being lazy? I mean I'm awake and at that moment as I'm feeding or just finished maybe it does make sense for me to take her back?

Also how do u get them back in bed? Dd naturally isn't keen at that point, nicer to see us isn't it? What tricks can I steal off u all to help us?

It's about once a week. Not every night. It isn't yet a problem, I'm just worried it might end up one!

Please advise? Thanks

What about a gro clock?
We've got one for dd and the theory is that she doesn't shout us (or get up) till the light turns green.

To be honest we got ours to stop early waking so it might not work with middle of the night. But worth a shot?

Dd 2.5 comes into our bed most nights. We let her in. She co slept till she was about 18 months so it's always been like this since she moved out of our bed. We have 6 month ds in with us as well. I also feel lazy for not getting up and taking her back to bed but i'm to tired to get out of bed so go with the option that gets me more sleep. Just do what you need to do to get by. Sleep for me takes priority. Dd will eventually grow out of it as will yours. I wouldn't worry about it.
