So we’ve had to transition our almost 16 month old daughter to a single bed. She’s outgrown her sleeping bags and we need the cot emptied ready for our next baby.

She’s always getting out of bed, but that’s to be expected. And with persistence (68 times we put her back to bed in the middle of last night) she seems to be improving. We were up 4 hours doing it the night before so 2 1/2 hours last night was much better lol.

Anyway, I think the reason why she wakes up and then we have this issue is because she gets cold. She fidgets all night and ends up out of her blankets and all over the bed (that’s why we had to use sleeping bags but she has outgrown them). Is there anything people have tried that helps their little one fidget less at night? I’m happy to persist with the getting out of bed problem, but wanna address why she wakes up enough that she can’t drift off to sleep again like she did in her cot.

I also know we have started this young, but it’s a needs must situation as I don’t wanna be having this problem when I already have the newborn here 😥
