Mine does this and I have to keep going in and getting back. But usually he doesn’t get up. It only sometimes he wakes up crying. I feel your pain tho it’s hard work ain’t itThose who stay with your little ones until they're asleep, what do you then do if they wake and scream every time they realise you're not there. It's constant with mini Pillows at the moment, and I mean proper full on hysteria
Sleep in a chair… or rather, my partner does! (He took charge of the toddler when we had a second baby, I take charge of him). It comes in cycles though, sometimes he’s fine but then has nights where he won’t be left. Definitely getting better as he’s getting older though!Those who stay with your little ones until they're asleep, what do you then do if they wake and scream every time they realise you're not there.

No, not that I can think of...
Go back and stay until they are asleep again. And repeat. It doesn’t last forever.Those who stay with your little ones until they're asleep, what do you then do if they wake and scream every time they realise you're not there.

Jesus, that’s rough on you big time. Might feel like a backwards step but can you stick her in your bed for a bit? I’ve noticed mine wakes much less if she’s in our bed. If we’re having a rough time of it she goes in there for a few days then we put her back in hers and see if her sleep improves. Also can you maybe let her sleep with something you’ve been wearing? She might find that reassuring as she drifts off and falls into a deeper sleep?
I also leave something smelling of me with my little one and also leave him cuddling a small teddy so the shock of me not being there isn’t much/he doesn’t notice a lot cos he’s too busy cuddling the teddy. How long do you wait until you leave the room? when my boyfriend puts our son down he gets up straight away soon as our son is asleep and more often than not, our son wakes up straight away. i will lie there and wait till he’s deffo asleep, then wait another 15 mins just to make sure he is deffo asleep. if i’ve not already fell asleep that is
but I’d say 5/7 nights the excuse me method works for me!God you’re lucky, mine jumps up and goes ‘I’LL COME TOO’I used to do the “excuse me” method.. so something I’ve done for ages is ask her to roll over and give her teddy a cuddle then I’ll say “excuse me I need to go and turn the heating on” and she won’t want to come cos it’s boring and pointless.. then I manage to get out! Some nights she wants me to lie next to her for a little bit and that’s fine
Mine also follows me everywhere. He’s been known to stand and watch me pee at 3 amGod you’re lucky, mine jumps up and goes ‘I’LL COME TOO’
if I say anything other than that she wants to come. I used to say excuse me I’m opening the bathroom window, or excuse me I’m just doing x y z, anything boring that she wouldn’t want to come and do. God forbid I’m saying I’m going for a wee, that won’t work she wants to comeGod you’re lucky, mine jumps up and goes ‘I’LL COME TOO’
How old is he?
aww really!! When are you due. Is she excited to be a big sister. How old is yours.
. So her kitchen can get trashed instead of mine 
. We’ve got soft play at the weekend. Football also. And then I was thinking not too any other paid activities really as we went soft play on Sunday as well. It all adds up! Hopefully if the weather stays nice we’ll go quite a few walks. He loves walking!!Yes... Slightly dreading it tbh, I used to love it when it was just me and her but trying to juggle her needs, the baby's needs, naps for the baby etc gets pretty stressful especially when it's crap weather so we can't just spend the whole time outside!
I am off every holiday with the kids. We always go out somewhere, morning or afternoon, such as the park, for a bike ride etc. I have a list on my phone of local places to go, some which are an hour of entertainment, some which are all day. Almost all are free. So if we have a day and I dunno what to do I just pull something from the list.
Due on the 26 Feb, hoping my consultant will agree that she can stay in until then!aww really!! When are you due. Is she excited to be a big sister. How old is yours.
He is 3. 4 in April! Sounds like we have similar ideas. I was thinking a farm but so he can see tractors more than the animals. He’s tractor mad. We’re going to my mums for some baking during the week
she’s 5 in May, but relate a lot to the posts on here!
I second a list! At the beginning of the summer holidays we had a rainy day so I sat with my little one who at that point had just turned 3 and we wrote down like 50+ ideas of things we wanted to do/see/achieve over the summer holidays.
