keeping daughter in bed!
| Sat, 06-16-2007 - 1:32pm |
I am in dyer need of some help. My youngest daughter who will be two in september has been sleeping in her own bed, actually on her crib matress on the floor in the living room for the psat few months and all seems to be working fine. She gets up a few times during the night and tries to come into bed with my hubby and I , but I always pick her up and put her right back into her own bed, and she falls back asleep without fighting. But my problem is, my hubby has been nagging me about putting her back in her room that she shares with my oldest; but I'm not sure how that's gonna go. Right now, when we go to sleep, if she makes a sound, or gets out of bed, I can easily see her from my bedroom, I guess maybe it's a security thing for me too, I like being able to see her through the night so I can see what she's doing and to make sure she's o.k. But, my hubby is getting very frustrated that she's still sleeping in the living room; but maybe it is time to put her back in her room, I'm just not sure what to expect in the middle of the night and how to handle her if she decides she doesn't want to cooperate. You'd think I'd know what to do, seeing is how I have a five year old too, but she never gave us any problems like this, so it's all new to me again, and I'm not sure what to do to make the transition easy on her. We're also expecting our third and final baby in November, and I think my hubby just wants to help, and maybe he thinks that if she's back in her own room by then, it'll be easier on all of us when the baby gets here and is up all hours of the night. I'm also concerned about how she's gonna react when she hears the baby crying in the middle of the night, and gets up and wants to stay up, how do I handle the baby plus trying to get her back to sleep? I'm so afraid I'm not gonna be able to handle both her and the baby, my oldest I don't have to worry about, she sleeps like a log, but what do I do about my youngest? Help!!
