Hi! I’m a mom to a 2-year-old,and every single night he comes into our bed. It started a few months ago and while my partner and I don’t really mind it now (honestly, sometimes it’s kind of sweet), I’m starting to wonder if we’re setting ourselves up for something we can’t undo later. Is this going to become a habit we’ll struggle to break as he grows older? Anyone else deal with this? Should we just ride it out or try to gently nudge him back to his bed every time?
OMG same here! My 3 year old has been doing this for months. At firs we thought it was just a phase, but… it hasn’t stopped, lol. I keep going back and forth between “enjoy it while it lasts” and “omg, what if he’s 5 and still doing this?” Some nights I just don’t have the energy to walk him back to his bed and honestly, the snuggles are hard to resist. I’ve tried returning him to his bed consistently for a few nights, and it kind of helped but the second I gave in just once… boom, back to square one. It’s such a struggle, I get it. Hang in there!
