My Daughter Wont Stay in Her Bed!

Do you leave the door open or is it shut? If its open shut it.

If she can open the door herself put a lock on it on the outside, or a kiddy lock or what we have done is dismantle the door handle so it can only be opened from the outside (but the door handle is in his walldrobe in case its needed cause he locks us in there lol).

Some people might see it as mean but we shut the door and leave him to it. He has worked out its nicer to sleep in bed than on the floor. Its better for everyone for our boy to know that basically between 7pm - 7am, he has to stay in his room and be in bed.

We shut DS's door when he sleeps that way he can't get out to come and wake us. We both usually wake when he does but it gives him a chance to settle himself.

I am guessing that she needs to learn to resettle her self again - so I would be withdrawing from sitting with her to get her to sleep. Try the creep method (where you gardually creep out of the room) or CC.

I would put her back in a cot.

wouldnt trust Issy with the door closed, she would probably wreck havoc.

Yeah I would also just put her back in a cot, she is still quite young, or try the slowly leaving approach.
Another thing I have done with Spencer for his afternoon nap is to pop him in bed and tell him I will back to check, then leave and pop straight back in, tell him again I will back to check and go for 10 secs then come back in, then 30, then 1min, 2min and so on, until when I pop in he is pretty much asleep. Not sure if that would have worked at 22 months though as they need to be able to understand to stay till you come back. I found with this it gave him enough time to wind down and settle in to go to sleep. Have also sat next to his bed not looking at him until he has settled down but not actually gone to sleep, so me being there is more just to keep him in bed long enough to calm down and lie down and then once he has he will settle himself. (I've only tried these with him being hyped up and overly tired, not sure how they would go in the middle of the night)

Spencer sleeps with his door shut to stop the cats from going in his room, Kyle has his door shut too for this reason. However Spencer can just get out of bed and open his door, he never has though when he's woken up in the morning or from his nap, he just stays in bed and calls me, no idea why he doesn't just come out.

I'm surprised to read that people don't shut the door! I never considered leaving it open --- we have cats that would be in there, and it would be noisier an light would go in when we had the hall light on .... I think its much ncier to sleep in a dark quiet room, so have always shut it. Jake is in a sleeping bag which probably means hes less mobile, so you could try that ---- or back in the cot like others have suggested. Jake is like Spencer - even though he could get out and open the door - he just lies there and yells when hes awake (like he did in the cot).

With the self settling - I would just leave them to it myself, but I know lots of people find going in and out checking on them less stressful (which I do with Morgan, but shes alot younger)

Oh my goodness, I am going through this right now with my son! He was an amazing sleeper in his cot. Slept 12-13hrs without us in the room, now he is in a bed he wants us there! We have tried shutting door, he wrecks his room and doesn't sleep for hours. We did the slow withdrawl and now we are in the hallway - hopefully this doesn't last for long though because it is cold sometimes. I think you have to do what is right for your family.
