Toddler waking again!!

[ChelseaHarvey]

Alfie wakes up as soon as we go to bed now, he hears us comming up & wakes up, walks out of his room and into ours crying!!

We took his gate down from his 2 weeks ago as he was sleeping through all the time after we had managed to settle him into his new bed, and in the mornings about 7am he use to then just come into our room and get into our bed

Now though he wakes as soon as we come upstairs and were not loud, dean brings him into bed with us which i go mad at as he isnt getting him into a bad habbit and then wen he tried to put him back to his bed he was having none of it

He is also waking at 5.30am

Lastnight i got dean to put the stairgate back up and alfie woke when we went to bed, dean put him in our bed :doh: he hates leaving alfie to cry, but i soon put him back in his room and let him cry, he went back to his own bed and fell asleep, although i kept having to listen to dean for 10 mins while alfie was crying at his door saying "see he wont go back to bed"

I dont get though why hes waking when we go to bed, he has never done this and normally once asleep nothing wakes him, and why he is now waking at 5.30am

Ch I really don't know what to suggest, but I can sympathise.

Ellis has been really good at sleeping, but the last few mornings around 4.30am he has been crying and not settling, so it as ended up with me taking him to our bed, just so I can get more sleep.

What I have been doing though, is once he has gone abck to sleep I have been putting him back into his cot, so he wakes back up in there.

This morning I shall admit to totally losing my temper, which met Dh and I having an argument at 5.30am :roll:

I would be more than happy to let him cry but DH is not supportive and says he is going to get up.

What annoys me though is I am the one who has to get up at 6am anyway to go to work, not Dh.

I am planning to take ear plugs home tonight and Dh can stick them in and I will put up with the crying.

Maybe you could do the same with Dean.

I spoke to our neighbours so they are aware of what is going on, but they understand as they have a little girl 6 months older than Ellis and went through the same thing.

Maybe he is just getting into the habbit of waking when you go to bed?

I think the best thing to do is what you've been doing and just put him straight back into his bed. I'm sure he is just still getting used to being in his big boy bed, its probably all strange to him still and he realises he can get up and out of it by himself.

Glad the move from cot to bed went well though :D
