Hi this is my 2nd post on this website. My 2 year old daughter have strange sleeping habit. She keeps rotating in her bed whole night,sleeping in different positions,ie she moves in the whole bed and She doesnt do that during her afternoon nap. My daughter still sleeps wtih me in our bed,I havent made her sleep in her own bed yet becuse of this habit of hers. Can anybody tell me reason for this,I havent been able to figure it out.And because of this problem,my husband sleeps in another bedroom.he feels disturbed at night becoz of my daughter.I also dont get proper sleep as i keep checking on her. Any suggestions please. I know it sound little odd that my daughter still sleep with me as kids are supposed to be in their own bed from the very early age .

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.

This is common with kids. My 11 month old daughter does this, so does my 9 year old cousin. Are you scared she may fall off her own bed? I think they have bed rails to block the sides. What about her crib?

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.

One of my daughters did this when she was little...she even swung her arms and kicked...(nothing like getting kicked in your face when your asleep)

Personally I think its pretty common....NO1 is right...she should be fine in her bed ..the longer you wait the harder it is...TRUST ME...unless of course you need her in bed for you....
