My 4 year old won’t sleep in her own bed!😩

Is she having naps during the day and what time do u put her to sleep? Xx

Get rid of nightlight and you might need to teach her to self settle again. Stop toni box and read 1 story then 5 mins cuddles and out. XxxXx

Ah gosh I feel this. My little boy is 4 and I'll be honest, most of the time now I just settle him in my bed, read a story and then he nods off. He sleeps great in my bed (most of the time) but in his own room, it's very much what you've described with a long routine, he soon wakes and cries, it feels like I have no evening at all! At very best he sleeps until 11 or 12pm then wakes crying and ultimately ends up with me anyway so I figured I'm just going to do what works best for us to all enough sleep and rest for now! I settle him by about 8pm, then head downstairs and watch tv or read for a bit, chat with my husband then I go back up to bed myself around 10 so I've at least had that bit of an evening and time for me/us. This does rely on two things though, my husband snores terribly so we made peace with sleeping separately ages ago so there is plenty of space. Secondly, I'm not expecting another baby which I appreciate puts some urgency on getting her settled in her big girl bed. I'm sorry I don't have a

My 4yr old was the same way until we stopped giving in & letting her in our bed. She sleeps in her bed now but there are still nights where she'll wake up and cry for me, I'll cover her back up and sit/lay there for a minute till she falls back asleep, then i go back to bed. It's definitely improved, she doesn't sleep in our bed anymore and in the mornings she likes to point out (or we will) that she's a big girl that slept all night in her bed.
It took some months, I started after I got pregnant too, knowing she had to be in her bed before the baby came

Huge amount of advice other than I totally relate to this and I feel at this age it's something that is assumed, like most children are in their own rooms and sleeping through by now but you're not alone! We're starting the whole routine again soon and going to try and stick with it, the trouble was he had so many bugs from school and when he was poorly he'd want to stay in with me and I'd agree every time but then back to square one 😬 good luck I hope someone posts something more helpful advice wise xx

A weighted blanket/stuffie seems to do the trick for us when we have her also we can’t get her to nap at all.. But she still sleeps in the same bed as her mom majority of the time.

This is terrifying to read! My little one is not even 10 weeks old and we are struggling with sleep (aka as 8week regression hit he is back to only sleeping when held) a lot but the temporary nature of the issue keeps us going. Hard to read that even at 4 years problem may persist! Obviously have no tips on this myself but hope you will find what works, I can only imagine how hard it feels to be pregnant and with no time for yourself and your partner ❤️

My 4 year old nearly 5 yr old was like this still is some nights/ she can really play up, her dad is a sucker & will go into her multiple times where I’m stricter and il be firm- she goes up with her tablet but has an hour & it goes off at 7.30 she then tries to mess about but il just keep telling her go to sleep eventually she will, just keep being firm she will get ther e

Thank you everyone! We’ve spoken about being a big girl and sleeping in her big girl room/bed, ordered a new star reward jar and are going to say she can have a star when she starts in her own room and when she gets 5 she can have a little treat, if she sleeps in her bed all night she can also have a treat. I’m at a point where I’ll do anything and if I have to keep a bag of treats until she’s in a solid routine then so be it! 🤣 she’s currently been asleep in her bed since 7:30 tonight 🤞🏼 massive improvement on last night where she was still messing around and playing up at 10pm!
