How can I get my toddler to stay in bed?

My 11 month old has been waking up at night not for a bottle but will yell until brought into bed with me. He is the worst to sleep with lol tosses turns, pulls hair , taps your head all night lol plus i cant sleep making sure he is safe. He has a very comfortable mattress plus in his sleep sack. Any tips

Dont give in to him. Let him scream and throw his tantrums. It may take a couple nights but he’ll know it isn’t going his way. By giving in to him he knows if I scream mama will bring me to bed with her

No sleep sack, lots of cuddles for an hour or two before bed. He probably wants the freedom to move at night, and the extra cuddles

My younger ones co-sleep with me usually because not only do they sleep better, but I sleep better knowing they’re okay next to me. This two children are perfectly fine sleeping in their own beds and they co-slept with me.

He’s 11 months old and using a sleep sack? Maybe he needs more freedom of his arms legs to get comfortable?

I couldn’t ever sit as listen to my children cry so hard, it would break my heart💔 I slept with my mjm till I was 14, I know how scary it is sleeping without them as there was nights she told me to stay in my own bed and I couldn’t sleep I couldn’t settle I was up crying all night it was awful! All I wanted was to feel close to my mum so I couldn’t ever let my children feel like that

I co sleep with my 2 daughters ones 6 she’s never stayed in her own bed! And my youngest is 2.5 she does slepe in her own bed next to mine but will crawl in now and then through the night, if I’m honest though I prefer it as I feel like they are safe when their that close to me, thinking of putting them in their own room physically makes me feel sick! I can’t bring myself to do it

Let him cry he’ll get over it
