I think the advise for taking him to his bed after he sleeps again works but also is tiresome, imagine waiting for him to sleep again then taking him back! We should form a chama! Man see i have burst out laughing..."please nifungulie" thats funny... possunt quia posse videntur

This would break my heart too and make me lose sleep. Kids can play psychological games and drive you nuts but each stage of a kids life has the word 'let go'. '2 and a half,needs the bro to play with her now.

Our kids never sleep in our bed at all. Right from birth, they sleep in their own cot. When they wake up in the middle of the night, I get up [wife is usually too fatigued, especially in first few months after birth], pick the kid and hand over to wife for breastfeeding...or simply rock back to sleep. Time to move out of our room comes when the kid settles into an all-night sleep routine. We've never had a problem with that. We are now on number 3 and he will be heading out of out bedroom in a few months time. I don't expect any problems. Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

Have you ever noticed that a baby will be more interested in a carton box than the toy that was in it? When I discovered this, I stopped buying toys for my babies. Just give them odd things that you don't have use for... like empty plastic juice bottles, biscuit boxes, kasuku containers, plastic cups etc. When they get bored with one [and this happens very quickly!!] change to a different one. Saves you a lot of money. After my son lost three balls over the fence, I decided to make him one with old newspapers. it lasted for almost two years - he used to care very good care of it. I guess its because he saw the amount of labour I put into it. Now he is making paper balls for his kid bro.

Decoration of a room does not in any way mean that you should buy toys. By decorate i mean make the room interesting. Play with colors that excite her (Pink, yellow, light blue etc..)be creative either by painting or having stickers/wall papers etc. Incorporate cushions and exciting beddings.

@Rahatupu, Children best respond to routine and the earlier you have this in place the better for you.My deelets have always slept with the same routine of bath - milk - stories - bed routine and i may be lucky as this has worked, they both moved to their rooms at 9 months sleeping in their own cots. However your case is fairly common and what works varies from child to child. However back to the routine what a child needs is consistency, whenever he cries at your door wake up no speaking, no eye contact and return him to his bed, you might do this for a few hours in the first night and its very physically exhausting (heck no-one says this journey will be easy)but a helluva lot more worthwhile,soon he will get the message and by day 3 this will be a thing of the past. Remember the key is consistency children dont cope well with disruptions. All the best. The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday's logic.
