Make them stay in their bed. My daughter cried herself to sleep the first night and been in her own bed and unless she was sick otherwise I needed time to myself and her bedtime was it. Don’t play around with em make baby respect the boundary. :heart:

For me, Sleep was way more important. I just let them sleep with me. I didn’t care where I slept. They could sleep in my bed if they wanted to I would sleep in their room and I had a very, very comfortable couch. I would sleep in there if I had to, they’re grown adults and I sleep in my bed all by myself with my dogs so eventually it does get better

We all sleep in the same room

If it still isn’t working, create a sticker calendar and they can earn stickers for nights they do well, then work up to a prize.

Consistency.

I always made sure that mine had a snack, a drink, went to the bathroom and had a nightlight on in their room. Anytime they would get out of bed and come to me, I would remind them that they had a snack, a drink, went to the bathroom and had a light, then I would walk them back to their bed.

It was exhausting for a while, but it worked.
