Bed Trouble

My son always finds a way to the floor. As long as he's sleeping, I don't really care. I don' know if it's "normal" per-say, but it's normal for my kid!

My daughter went through that phase, too, and I remember having a sleeping bag that I just loved, which of course I used on the floor.

It's okay. If that 's where she's comfortable for now, leave her. Her preferences will change eventually, no doubt. And probably change back and forth. There are so many battles we fight with our little ones, this one just isn't worth it, IMO.

Its a phase.
My kids did that too at that age.
At 2 years old, they get sleep tweaks.
It passes.
It is not a battle.
The thing is, she IS getting sleep and sleeps good on the floor. So that is fine.

My daughter, would make a "nest" (her words) on the floor next to her bed, each night, to sleep on the floor. She just found it cozier there. It was fine. She slept good there. She was the same age as your child, when she used to do this. I did not battle about it.
My son did that too at that age.
No biggie.
In some cultures, they do sleep on the floor.
I do not find it weird nor odd.

My youngest two always sleep on the floor. We got to the point we just removed the beds (for now) so they had more room to play.

I wouldn't fight this battle unless she tries to leave her room. That...I wouldn't allow.

My kids (twins) did this for a while....one longer than the other. We just moved them to their beds when we went to bed at night. Sometimes they'd wake and move back to the floor, but other times they did not.

It started when they were moved to toddler beds and we had put foam pads on the hardwood floor in case they fell out of bed. Later we got them twin size mattresses and put them on the floor and took away most of the foam padding around the beds since they were so low to the ground anyway. At that point, we convinced them the floor was too hard and they should sleep in their beds....but one would still occasionally want to sleep on the small padded foam area on the floor next to his bed.

I figure it wasn't worth the battle since he was going to sleep and that's really what I wanted him to do. I just move him back to bed after he is asleep.

Now, if I could just get the other one to stop waking up in the early am, coming into my room, and requesting that I come back to his room to sleep with him. :-)

she might be lonely or scared. we dont allow for the kids to sleep in our room. (mainly because they wont sleep, talk, play, jump, anything but sleep). we did this as kids but only every once in a while. we would sleep in bed with my parents until we were too big then we would bring our own pillow and blanket and sleep on the floor. There room was creepy so I had to be very scared before I would go in there!

I think its very normal for kids. I would get her to explain as well as she can why she is not sleeping in her bed. She might have a simple answer. Too dark, weird noise, blanket feels weird, bed too soft, lonely, scared, or just because she wants too. Then you can address the solution better. IF there needs to be a solution.

Did she fall out of hte bed one time in the past? Or maybe fell off some other furniture or at a playground? That would explain a "fear" of heights, even 3 or 4 inches of height like on a mattress.
