Both my boys love having their 'babies' in bed. They have since probably around 12mths too. They have their favourites.
Has she reached a milestone that could be causing her to be unsettled? The other thing maybe she is sensing your pregnancy and impending baby and just wants extra re-assuring cuddles.
I have a dinosaur Giimmo night light for my boys. They can cuddle it as it doesn't heat up at all and it lights up enough to keep the monsters away. It's brighter than I thought, but they love it!
I bought mine from the bambini pronto online we.
The odd night in bed with you shouldn't be a long term habit, if it's every night, it could become difficult to break, especially when your baby arrives.
Hope she settles soon for you, it's tough when you are pregnant especially
Have you tried a fluffy blanket? You could give it to her the next few times she comes into your bed and then put her to bed with it so she's got it when she wakes up.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone:
Heather72 - in regards to the milestone, she started walking 5 weeks ago and also since then the things she has learnt to do have been amazing, do you think this could be disrupting her or is there another milestone I could be missing. Good point on the sensing the baby too I never thought of that.
I have given her a average sized teddy in bed tonight, she seems to really like this one in particular so I will see how she goes with that, if not then I will try that and a night light.
Hope you had a better night.
I would say with the walking, that would be enough to do it. She is probably exploring heaps and seeing things she hasn't noticed before. Sometimes I find the boys find it hard to switch off their minds at night, they eventually fall asleep, then if they wake start thinking about things again and struggle to get back to sleep.
