Y’all I’m at a loss.

My 2/12 year old has been in a toddler bed (twin bed, really) for almost a year now. For the past 2 months or so she is constantly waking up. (Like at least 4 or 5 times a week). And every time she comes to our room. We take her back to her bed and she will not fall asleep unless myself or my husband sits or lays with her until she does fall asleep. This could involve crying and screaming and kicking around, and sometimes takes 2 hours.

If you’re successful at it- how are you getting your toddler to put his/herself back to sleep when they wake up in the middle of the night?

Between her doing this and our four month old, we are extremely exhausted.

Any sleep tips are appreciated!!

** I did try kids melatonin for her a handful of times and it has no helped. It seemed to make her extremely irritable, so I do not want to use that.
