Staying in bed!

We have a 2 1/2 year old who won’t stay in her bed all night.

We thought it was because she was falling out - bed guard in place
Too cold - extra blanket
Glo clock in place - we say goodnight to the sun but no interest apart from that
Star chart - she brings in at 3am asking for a sticker!
She climbs into our bed and tosses and turns and doesn’t settle. I’ve set up a camp bed in her room and I go into that now and a couple of times she has settled back into her own bed but last night she waited a little while then climbed back into our bed where I sleep and fell asleep.

I can do the controlled crying thing when we first put her to bed but in the night I need her to be quiet as my husband needs his sleep because of his health issues.

She decided she doesn’t want a nap anymore and she is fine with her bedtime routine - bath, 1 story, small amount of milk and lights out usually by 7pm

I know I probably set myself up letting her in but how do I break this habit?

I’m knackered!!!!

Is there family near by your husband could stay with while you do controlled crying?

We have family across town but as he can’t drive at the moment we wouldn’t see him at all for however long it takes!
