PLEASE ANSWER THIS!!! Toddler night wandering in shared room - help!

[BitTiredNow]

my 2 yo ds2 gets up in the night and roams - usually into my bed. He shares a room so I cannot put a stair gate on his door or his older brother cannot get out to go to the loo. I am so fed up with this now - rapid return has been bottled out of as he wakes up the other 2 with loud and prolonged yelling ( I am on my own so no chance to share the getting up), and I am now scurrying around the house trying to hide from him in an empty bed, which is pathetic I know but I NEEED SLEEEEEEPPPPPP >>

bumping - please!!!!

please please please

Sorry BitTiredNow, I have no answers but didn't want your message to go unanswered. My 2.5 yr old goes to bed okay but has also started to wake in the night and not resettle. She won't accept dh and wants 'mummy'. I was so cross last night I slept downstairs with earplugs in, tho I knew she wouldn't come to harm cause dh was upstairs.
Not sure what to suggest. IF you really need sleep, some would advocate sticking a mattress in your own room on the floor and then you may all get more sleep, but this might not be an option you want to run with. He's bound to grow out of it..you could talk about big boys staying in their own bed (not sone much for my dd but I'm hoping the message will one day get thru as we reiterate it every day)

DD does the same thing. She doesn't share a room, but she will be up for hours. We finally gave in, and she has a pile of blankets she sleeps on if she wanders in during the night. She finally started staying in her room at nights, but has been very sick, so we have inherited her again. Having her in our room is definitely not our first choice, but she would scream and yell and not let up, so for everyone's sanity, just letting her plop on the floor was about the only option we were left with.
