my 2.5 year old won't stay asleep anymore

by tiredmom30, Apr 14, 2008 10:07PM
Okay... i have a 2.5 year old who has slept through the night since night one... everything was great!!!  Now all of a sudden... she refuses to go to bed... cries and repeatedly climbs out of her crib.. and wakes up at 3 a.m. and won't go back to sleep!!!  I've never had a problem with her sleeping before... tonight she wanted to sleep on the big bed in her room and laid down there.. she still got up twice, but for now :) she is still there and seems to be going to sleep!!!  Please help!!



This discussion is related to 2.9 year old suddenly is fearful of napping / sleeping.

It sounds like she is going through a phase-- probably related to having CONTROL:). Sounds very two to me.

2.3 if quite old to still be in a crib-- I have heard that any time a child can climb out of a crib they should not be in the crib any longer because its dangerous to them-- for the very reasons you describe!! They can climb out at night and hurt themselves.

You might want to consider transitioning to the big bed-- and making sure that she does not get too much attention from you when she waked up at night-- putting her back in bed, and making sure she stays there -- no matter what it takes -- will probably solve itself in a few months.
