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 twiceTwice-a-day, but for now :) she is still there and seems to be going to sleep!!! Please help!!
It sounds like she is going through a phase-- probably related to having CONTROLControl Control rx:). 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.
