My child comes into our bed almost every night

20 December, 2015

It is important to remember that whatever your child associates with going to bed at bedtime, she will need in the night to help her get back to sleep. So if you want her to sleep in her own bed through the night, make sure that is where you put her at bedtime.

If your child comes into your room at night, take her gently by the hand and lead her back to her own bed. Try to keep the interaction with her as minimal as possible, but make it clear that it is still nighttime and therefore not time to get up.

Consistency is the key element in making this a success. If you give in, even once, you may have to start again!

Older children respond well to reward charts, starting with achievable targets and slowly raising the goalposts as she gets used to each new target.

"Why Does My Child Wake Up In The Night?"

We are all wired to wake during the night as we transition between our sleep cycles. However, the problem is not the waking but not having the ability to settle back to sleep independently. Our child sleep guide can help you tackle the causes of these wake ups.
