Toddler getting out of his bed
How do I stop him?
We moved him to a big boy bed 4 weeks ago and his first 3 weeks in the bed he slept better than he ever did in his cot. This week however he is constantly getting out of his bed and coming to look for me. His door is shut so I always hear him opening the door. First night he was awake 1am to 4.20am doing it, i keep putting him back and telling him it's bedtime.
2nd night 1am to 2.30am. I was getting so tired though as his little bro (4mths) also demanded my attention for feeding. In the end at about 2.30am I told DS1 that if he got out again he was going to time out. Thankfully he stopped.
Tonight we've been going at it since 11 pm, the time out option hasn't worked so I found the keys and locked the door. We've had one screaming match for 15 mins, when he calmed down and called out to me no more tears, I opened the door and walked him back to bed. Ive also given him DS2 little glow night light... So far so good.
Is it a phase or do you think it's worth buying a proper lamp for him to keep on in his room... Think he is afraid in their?
TIA
