Thread: My 2 year old daughter sleeping problem!!

Assuming that by rotating in bed you mean changing her head from the top to side or foot of the bed, I have NO idea what the reason is. However I do know that as a child I did this for a great deal of time, on and off as far back as I can remember until my earlier teens. It would only happen when I had been sleeping deeply for some time... I remember waking up as a child confused as to how the heck I got into a position, but it never affected my sleeping. I don't know for sure if the 2 are related but I also wet the bed during the same time period... looking back it seems I grew out of both around the same time..Hopefully this helps at least to ease your worrying...Ask her doctor for advice at her next check up see what he/she has to say...
take care

I don't see the problem. Kids move around in bed constantly. I did it when I was young and I still do it. I go to sleep with my head where it should be and wake up with it at the foot of my bed. I never remember waking up so my sleep's not really affected..Unless she's waking up a million times a night, I don't see why she doesn't sleep in her own room and your husband in his.

Hi all ,
Thank you for your replies. Well my daughter does get up at night( 2-3 times) and then again fall asleep after changing her postion( I mentioned in my last post that she keeps rotating in the bed)and also asks for milk. This is the reason that I dont let her sleep alone.

if it wasnt for this habit of hers, i would have let her sleep by herself. I know I am spoiling her,but I dont have a heart to leave her on her own.

please give me some tips so that i can get rid of this habit and so is my daughter!!

she needs to sleep on her own. she will grow out of this or not, it's not anything to be worried about.

you should be worried about alienating your husband. yes you need to look after your child, but when she's 18 she'll move out and find her own life. Don't expect your husband to wait that long.

If you need her in your bed FOR YOU... you had better get her out of it and seek marriage counseling asap. This could lead to you trying to be your childs "friend" instead of her parent. That almost always destroys a marriage.

I have a two year old and a six year old that both turn constantly in their sleep. The big thing I have done with the two year old is put her in a short toddler bed that has a little rail to help them from falling out. As a child I also did this and grew out of it. My mother has pictures of me at the bottom of my bed upside down and our dog sleeping on my pillow. My daughter has started wanting to sleep in our bed lately but ends up kicking someone in the face during the night or almost falls off the end of our bed. So the short toddler bed us much safer for her and everyone else gets a good nights sleep.
