I am mom of a 15mth old toddler who is very energetic and full of personality, sometimes its hard to keep up. Apart from constantly fighting sleep, at about 2am he wakes up and comes to my room. Now, at that time of the morning I am so exhausted that he may just spend the rest of the night in my bed. That I dont want to do. When I do bring him back to his room I will wake in the morning and he is in my bed ( my husband puts him there when he comes back to the room after he realises he is back in his bed and I am asleep). So my question is how do you keep ur toddler in his bed in his room all night. Before he would sleep through the night apart from when he looses his pacifier for the minute and he falls right back to sleep, that I also need to get rid of. Any suggestions moms?

What can I do next?

Hi Grace,
I have 2 girls, 6 & 7. At times they still wake up on my bed! Don't feel bad, your son is still a baby and likes to feel your warmth at night. It wasn't easy keeping up with everything, but us women, we are strong people. i believe God made us that way for a reason. All I have to say is to not pay too much attention to those little things, don't drive yourself crazy. Those are all things that go away with time. Before you know it, all he'll want to do is be on his own! My two are very individual, but they still like to cuddle and run to my room once in a while.
Just be patient and take it a day at a time. Talk to your husband about what you want so that you can both come to an understanding. THings are always easier when both are on the same page.

I still consider my 15 mo baby, a baby, not a toddler...and he is in a crib. Why is your baby in a toddler bed? He is too young to be able to come & go out of his room as he pleases. it isn't safe, don't you think?
Clearly it sounds like he needs to be confined at night, since he is too young to understand that he can't come into your room. of course he wants to be with his momma!

First and most important Dont stress about the whole situation. 15months...he's still a baby really. You may try laying with him in his bed until he falls asleep, if he comes to your bed in the middle of the night, so be it--let him stay. Eventually he will transition and you will be alot less stressed. My 10 year old ventures into our bed from time to time......sometimes they just need mom & dad's warmth and feeling of security.

Try putting a baby gate at the door, the more we go into our son and sit with him the more he wakes up so we just go to the door and say back to bed and it helped to get him sleeping thru the night
