We moved my soon to be 3yo daughter to a toddler bed because she would climb out of her crib.
She was doing pretty good about not getting up when we put her to sleep but now it has become a NIGHTMARE. She will not stay in her bed when put down and she wants us to stay in the room or else she gets up and walks out of her room.
With this new resistance she literally takes two hours to fall asleep - yesterday she fell asleep at 10pm.
What should I do?
We are switching from crib to bed and it's not going well. Help!
We are on day 9 (feels like 900) of my sons sleep journey. We started with the book at bedtime and whenever he asked, which was often, removed his crib, set up his room and he was excited. For two nights it was perfect. He just went to sleep for naps and bedtime no issues. Then the novelty wore off for him and it sunk in.
We are going in 4-6 times a night and I am exhausted and dad is slammed with work, he needs to function; we both do. What do we do about this looooong ‘go to sleep’ time?
