She won't stay in her own bed.

Let me first say yes I know your not a fan of crying it out but when done correctly its very affective. My daughter is 2 and can sleep any were weather I'm there or not. We did the crying out method starting at 6 months old she doest sleep or wake to want to sleep with me and my husband any more. Your going to have to kick your child our of your bed soon even if its in the middle of the night because it can go on forever. A little crying as annoying as it might be or heart breaking its not going to kill you or our child or break them. They will always still love you and need you. You just start at a small number of who long you want to wait. Now when my daughter wakes in the middle of the night which isn often I give her her cup tucker back into bed. Turn on her violate which sings to her and leave the room if she cries she cries and then she'll give up and go back to bed. The only other way I can think of which isn't crying is putter her back to bed and you either lay with her in her bed or sit with her till she goes back to bed.or even ask her why do you do come to our room in the middle of the night. If she doesn't sleep with something then get her something to sleep. Even at her age something of mommies in her bed will make her happy and sleep better. Lights are great as all to keep the room some what visible.

My son was the same at that age. The dr. told me to put music on near him. I did and he stopped doing it.

I had that same problem with my little girl when she was two and a half years old. She came into my bed in the middle of the night. I mentioned this to the health visitor. She said I should put a gate on my daughter's bedroom. I have given her a child safe night light. Before I had that gate I stayed silent and brought her back to her bed. I stayed with her and held her hand until she calmed down. I let her fall asleep before I went back to my own bed. If she came again I did all of that again. The gate and the night light help her stay in her room. My daughter is now aged three years old. She is going to be four years old in June. I read her stories before she goes to bed. I keep the light on all night for her. She gets up in the night to go to the potty. Good luck.

What if she notice some thing unusual during that time you mentioned? Maybe she is afraid to be left in her room alone because of something.. You should ask her why she feel afraid and what things that make her afraid

Getting a young child a tv for her room is not a good thing. You will have worse problems than just her watching tv and falling asleep in front of it. She will come to expect sharing your room and it is not healthy anyway. You will have little privacy. Besides, there might be something else responsible for her insomnia. Why not check it out? It could be a simple problem with an easy solution. It is a long time ago since I had children, and to some extent couples with small children have all experienced this.

Hi friend, I think she is too young to sleep in her own bed, moreover if her bed in separated room. It is a good idea if you find out what the problem that make her does not comfort in her own bed. Try to learn more about her. It is the best way to make her understand why she should sleep in her own bed, I think. Have a nice day.

i say go with your husband's idea and try the t.v in the bed. that worked for daughter.

I hope this helps.... why not try sleeping with her until she falls asleep and tell her that she is getting to be a big girl and that along with her sleeping alone are other big girl responsibilities that await her. Just tell her all the perks of being a girl at her age and how she should learn to be independent.

My little ones do have a TV in their room but my 4 year old does the same thing as yours! No matter what I have done she will not stay in her own room. The way I see it is they will outgrow it. We both know that they will not want to sleep with us forever. My 7 year old has not slept with us since she was 5 years old. So I do know my baby will out grow it... When it happens I will be sad, I know it! Lol. I don't think it's anything to worry about. My 4 yr old does it in the middle of the night as well, I wake up and she is all of a sudden in my bed! I say, enjoy it while it's here and be grateful once she out grows it-or be sad when she does like me!
