    MummyTummy, we moved in September from a unit to a house. She is also currently being toilet trained. She has been in a new room for about a month now (we changed her to a bigger room as baby is coming along and will be in the smaller room now) and she has a new single bed (from toddler bed) the last 3 weeks now. I never thought of all of this may be contributing to it???? Perhaps it is. Since moving to the new house, the new room and the new bed, she has slept through though no problems until 2 nights ago...

    She slept in her bed last night with no screaming but she did walk into our room and hop into our bed at 3.50am, went to sleep around 4.30am and then up again at 5.30am.

    Think it is just best to go with the flow.
    Yeah, sounds like big changes for her - new house, TT, new room, new bed.... soon to be new sibling.... and yeah like I said, it can take up to 6 months for the problem behaviour to actually come out. You might have to deal with this for some time yet - it might be bed wetting or TT regressing next. it doesn't go on for too long though, but I agree, just go with the flow for now and let her start to feel secure again in her own time. And try not to make a big deal about the behaviour, because that will just add to her stress. good luck! Pinky's book 'Toddler Tactics' explains all this in a bit more detail and probably more sense than me too, if you are interested in reading about it.
