getting out of bed middle of nite

[Belinda1000]

my DD is 2 1/2 and since going into a big bed her sleeping habits have become disgusting.(she was climbing out of the cot) No matter what time she goes to bed she is waking up around 2 in the morning and gettng out of bed and staying wake for at least an hour. i have tried stopping day time sleeps and getting her really tired but no matter what i do she still wakes up and this makes her tired the next day so she needs a sleep. when she wakes at nite put her straight bak to bed we can do this 3 or 4 times and ends up in my bed anyway. How do i get her to stay in bed all nite.

It's most likely a phase that will pass - why bother with the sleeplessness of doing it 3 or 4 times, just have her in bed with you. Lovely snuggly cuddles for everyone, and better sleep for everyone too. They're only little for a short time.
