Keeping kids bedrooms warm

[BrightSparkles]

Thanks girls. We put the oil heater on and that was ok. I'll try all the other suggestions too. I'm beginning to think that it might just be a phase now. The tantrum we had at 2am was just ridiculous. The screaming/crying and kicking went on for 40mins! This is NOT what I want to be listening to at that time of morning - all because I wanted her in her bed. DH and I need to sleep. I'm happy for her to come into our bed anytime from 5am onwards but the rest of the time I want her in her bed because she just doesn't stay still in our bed.

**off to make her bed with more blankets underneath....

Sunshine it is so much fun isnt NOT at those early hours for the tantrums....
I have a 2 and a bit year old and he can chuck the biggest wobblies .. not that often but when he does he lets rip!
The cold rooms business: obviously your child is in a bed? (mine still in cot) Could it be a bit of a habit as well? One night she did it and got away with it so she started a pattern? or does she come in obviously cold and teeth shattering etc etc. Im dreading giving my dss 2yr a big bed when this new bub comes as it will be fun and games NOT. And im not a pretty mum when im sleep deprived! So i hear your frustration but all i could suggest is the blanket oil heater and maybe a low gate to keep her in her room ... or use your split system and put it on a timer .... i know it is expensive but more sleep with out weigh the bigger bill
good luck

I was going to say the blanket underneath. We currently live in a caravan and this has really helped DS keep warm.
