    Sleeping IN the bed

    Please help!!!

    One of my DD's wont stay in her bed. She happily goes to bed, lets me put the covers on etc. Then when i shut the door she gets out, pulls her pillows off the bed, puts them behind the door and sleeps there all night with her doona.

    She does it for day naps too.

    How do i get her to stay IN bed.....or should i not be to worried about it?

    My nephew went through this stage of making "nests" on the floor. My sis just ignored it and eventually he went back to sleeping in his bed. As long as she is sleeping, I would ignore it as well. Choose your battles IFYWIM?

    yes i'd ignore it too. Has she ever slept in the bed?? If not then maybe ask her why she doesn't like to? She might be scared of something which you can help her with. Otherwise you could try the mattress on the floor for a while and see if that helps.
