Several New Wake up Times a Night

I don't know if it is the same problem, but my 2 1/2 (he was almost 2 at the time) would wake up several times each night. We finally figured out that it was because he would half-way roll out of his toddler bed. We put him in a bigger bed and we don't have that problem anymore, save for a few nightmares now and then. However he still knocks on his door in the morning when he's ready to get up. But, if it is too early yet, he will knock for maybe 5 min. and then either play with his toys or go back to bed. It could be as simple as the fact that you moved and she needs to adjust. Hope this helps.

Remember that all children need time to adjust. Even thought this may be a familiar place...everything is new. The smallest thing amy cause her to wake up. When we rearrage our girls rooms it always takes a few nights to get used to. So maybe you should leave a night light on at all times for a few nights so when she wakes up she can see where she si and know that she is safe. Alsi try a stuffed animal to keep her safe through the night. Remember that when she gets used to waking up in this new place she will sleep all night again.
Good luck

Hey J.,

I had this same problem a few weeks ago, and it's already resolved, so don't dispair. I think my little boy was just going through a clingy period. Anyway, here's what worked for us. I explained that everybody has to go night-night, even mommy. We also read a book called, "Go Away Big Green Monster" We got it at Target. I think he was afraid of the dark or something, he could never say what. We also bought a baby gate to put in his doorway, it's REALLY sturdy and I let my son "help" pick it out. I also told him the gate was just to keep him safe at night while mommy and daddy are sleeping. The first night I sat in the room with him until he fell asleep. Then I left and didn't go back, just like when you let babies cry it out. He did cry for like 40 minutes, but after that we started sleeping again :) Now he doesn't even wake up until I wake him at 8. Just like when he was a baby. Now I'm working on him going to sleep on his own, I seem to be keeping him awake now that he's learned how to self soothe again.
Good Luck and Let me know how it goes,
A.

Hi, my daughter did the same thing. I was told that it is very common for kids to wake up at this age, especially when there is a big change, a baby, a new home, etc. She may hear new sounds at night and this is also the age where they start it really dream and she may be waking up with that. A routine at bedtime is always a good thing as well as a nightlight. It is okay to go in and make sure she is okay and reassure her that she is not in harms way, but don't make a habit of laying with her til she falls asleep, because she will come to expect that. Hopes this helps.

I'm not too experienced in this area, mine's not even near 2 yrs. old. But, my advice would be to explain that it's night night time, everyone is asleep. Tell her she has to stay in her room 'til wake up time. Does she have a sound machine? This may help drown out sounds she's unfamiliar with. Make sure she has a night light. Make sure to keep on a good night time/wake time schedule--keep a routine. Adjustments take time, but the sooner the better getting it under control. Good luck.
