Toddler coming into our bed at night

Macy

Anyone else have a toddler that ends up in their bed every night? Unfortunately we had to put her into a toddler bed earlier than we hoped because she kept successfully climbing out of her crib even on the lowest mattress setting. She goes down easily at the start of the night but like clockwork she wakes up between 1130 - 2 am and just incessantly calls and cries for us and if we try to ignore her or tell her to go back down on the monitor she just gets more amped up. It’s easier to just pull her into bed and all get some sleep.

Only posting this to see if anyone has had the same experience? I know the sleep experts say to walk them back to their bed and don’t cosleep but we secretly love it as much as she does 🥰 I know I will be kicking myself for this in about two years 😬

Yep! My first did the same thing at the same age. If it makes you feel any better my first decided she prefers her own bed in her own room by the age of 4. Unfortunately for her she can’t sleep without her little brother who currently refuses to sleep anywhere but our bed so she’s still in our bed too (but she begs him every night to stay in their room). My SIL has teens and just today she was telling me to enjoy it because all too soon they’ll stop wanting to cuddle.

Not sure if that helps but my little guy refuses to sleep anywhere but in our bed … 🥴
