Ok so might be a long post but here goes...

My eldest daughter (who is nearly 8) will NOT stop in her own bed all night! We have always co slept since she was about 10 months old and transferred her to her own bed around age 3... since then she will go to bed, self settle herself to sleep (around 8.30pm) then be awake and come into our bed at 1am...

add to the mix her little sister who is 2 also wont settle in her own bed... same problems as her big sister!

We have tried reward charts (Bribery!), tried putting them in bed together etc...and im at the wits end now id just really like to stop all this bed hopping so we aren't all getting broken sleep and we are all in our own beds!

So come on moms give me suggestions please :-)

What happens if you tell her she needs to go back to her own bed? What's her reason for not wanting to sleep there? Does she have any SN?

She will wake up multiple times.. im at a bit of a loss to be honest... no SN issues but shes a really sensitive child and I know she worries a lot...

god I feel like ill never sleep again!

If you tell her she has to go back to bed and stay there, does she do it? What is she worried about?

Tbh, it might just be time to put your foot down.

Time to stand no nonsense. It might upset you but you have to be firm. Keep taking her back. She will give up eventually.

I think you might be right ladies...

I think shes just got the normal school relationship eg she wont be my BFF etc going on...

time for my big girl pants on and take no shit :-)
