Gurgle expert Thirza Ashelford says 'Well done – you still have time to sort this out before your new baby arrives on the scene! You are doing absolutely the right thing in taking him straight back to his own bed if he tries to come into yours. Now you need to steel yourself for a few disturbed nights while you take him firmly back to bed, tuck him in and say goodnight! He will probably get straight out of bed again and come to find you so I would suggest that you wait just outside his door and as soon as he comes out, gently and firmly take him straight back in again and tell him he must stay in his own bed until it is morning and then you will come and fetch him for a cuddle. Leave him again and wait outside his door then do exactly the same thing but this time don’t say anything. I am afraid you will have to do this as many times as it takes until he realises that he is not going to make it to your bed and neither is he going to get a reaction from you! If you have promised him a cuddle in the morning then go in and give him just that to wake him up but I would not take him into your bed for it just yet – at two years old he simply isn’t old enough to understand that sometimes it is ok to be in mummy’s bed and sometimes it isn’t. When he is a little older and happily going to sleep in his own bed then you can have those lovely weekend cuddles! You will have some very sleepless night initially so do be prepared for this and if possible alternate the nights with your partner so you at least get one night’s sleep each! Be firm, don’t give in to him but do be kind, he is having to make a seriously big adjustment here but leaving it until the baby is born would be seen as a really big rejection so go for it now!'

my 16 month daughter has started to sleep wa.i wake up to find her walking around the room.the last few months sha has been really figety too,she keeps sitting up in her sleep then throwing herself back down again.problem is she tends to throw herself down and whack her head on the wall...or my head!! god it hurts,i can be fast asleep and wake up in loads of pain lol but she still asleep. think she neds a padded cell lol xxx

my daughter is 2 and for some reason has started to not sleep through the night so i really feel for you- it is so hard to keep your patience at stupid o clock in the morning! what i do is have a stair gate in the room to keep her there mostly its coz her room is right next to the stairs so its to stop her falling down them if anything. when she calls me in the night i always go to her just in case but most of the time i just stick my head round the door or lean down and cuddle her and send her back to bed. most of time she goes back to bed and then to sleep within minutes- think she just wants reassurance i'm still there but occasinally she puts up a fight and i sit with her for a while but leave before she goes to sleep but so tired she cant be bothered to protest. fingers crossed its just a phase that they grow out of soon thats what i keep telling myself anyway. x x

hey hun.got no advice for you lol but your not alonewhen my boy was little i used to get in with him then i found i was pg again so put him in bed and had to keep going in to comfort him.it took weeks of getting up several times a night but worked in the end!! he started sleeping on his own all through the night.when my little girl arrived i had no probs with her...until december.she caught tonsilitis and i ghot so tired of getting up that i put her in with me,then my boy caught it so my oh gt in with him,then my girl caught it back and it passed on 4 times.we now in situation where oh sleeps with my boy and i have my girl i n my bed.we're only jut starting to try and get tem to sleep on their own again! think it a matter of being patient and firm.just keep gong in,settle back down again and leave quietly leaving it a little onger before you go back in.it does work! lets hope we both get our lo's in their own bed and sleeping through.good luck xx
