How would you deal with a 3y/o waking in the night for snuggles?

Question

I’m about to lose my ever loving mind. I snuggle him to sleep. And he would wake up here and there before but now is waking up several times a night and I have a 5 month old I cannnnnoooootttttt do this and I am about to get so angry  and trying not to. Needing tips on how to handle it. TIA.

Answer

I let my 4yo (5 next month 😭) climb into bed with me and snuggle. I tell him 5minutes then he has to go protect his brother from the monsters. He feels comfortable going back to bed with a room full of "monsters" cause he knows they can't touch him when his "mom batteries" are full after snuggling me. 
The things we tell our kids 🤥🥴

Answer

Don’t be upset cuddle them as much as you can cause you never know when it will be the last time they come to you for something. Instead pray for you to have enough rest when you can.

Answer

Same except I have a 1 month old and I can’t spend hours trying to get my toddler back to bed, so frustrating!

Answer

I don’t have personal experience because my baby is much younger but I saw somewhere else that a woman with a 7 and 3 year old has the same problem so she created a sticker chart for each of them. If they stay in their own beds until morning they get a sticker and she said it has worked really well and they have both stopped coming into the parents bed
