My daughter has been climbing out of her bed every night. She comes in me and my husbands room anytime from 4am-5.30am. She then demands everything possible whilst crying I.e. TV,milk, toys. She is 2 years 8 months.

How do I keep her in her bed?!

Our June baby is still in his cot but I've seen lots of people suggesting baby gate on the bedroom door or A clock that indicates when it's night or if you have a yoto we use the night light. I think we'll use a baby gate that when we do take him out the cot. Our oldest had one for a couple of weeks. He often wakes at 5 somethings but knows he stays in his room until his, yoto light turns green (6am). Sometimes he asks for us (we still have a monitor), occasionally hell come unto our room but one of us will take him back to his room and stay with him.

My LG does the same! We try and get to her before she manages to climb out of her cot and take her back to her own bed or rock her on the chair in her room until she falls asleep, then put her in her cot

I have heard people talk about the gate too but I know she would get really stressed with this and would cry a lot. Trying to eliminate noise and stress at 4am!

That makes sense, different things work for different families/children. We just used it with my oldest when he first transitioned for a couple of weeks and it meant he wouldn't come out loads as we thought he might and it worked wonders. He knew he had the monitor and could ask for us if he needed us, like he did when he was in his cot, so he didn't get distressed at all. Worked really well for us. Hope you find your solution soon

Tommee tippee gro clock xx

We have used gates and the gro clock over the course of the last 18 months that my son has been in a toddler bed and he still wakes and comes through to us as early as 4 some mornings. He doesn't seem to grasp that red means bed!
