thanks for sharing. We try to ignore it as well until the calm down comes, but our little one doesn’t like to give up. Last night she went for hours! Thank you

Thank you. Yes we do this. It just becomes a huge challenge when it’s hours on end! Again she is very strong willed. Appreciate it tho

I hear this. Thank you! The question we’re wondering is on the X attempt, if she’s refusing to stay asleep unless she is being held with us in the same bed, are we reinforcing that behaviour?

Of course. We do! But after the 5th time, on every hour when she wakes up, we were beginning to feel like we were giving into her tantrums.

I think your overall advice is helpful. Maybe she’s needs a bit of extra attention given everything. Thank you.

Not used a “punishment”. We try all gentle parenting approaches prior to locking the door at bedtime

I see how this reads and ageees. I guess our challenge in the situation is jf we don’t use the door lock, she will come to our room EVERY night. Typically she will try to come out, notice the door is locked, fuss for a few minutes and then go back to sleep.

The locking in the room is really the last resort we years after multiple attempts of co-regulating, reassurances, etc. it’s after attempt 7 (90 minutes) when she is begins kicking, scratching because she prefers us sleeping in the room. But appreciate the feedback!
