Are you having trouble getting your children to sleep in their own bed? I can sympathize with you. I had the same problem until my friend suggested a toddler air mattress.
I had no idea what he meant, until I did more research!
So they understand that I have twins and at night they woke up and did not get comfortable. No, unless I take them to bed with me and my husband.
Not ideal … as you can imagine!
We were constantly subjected to two little bodies squirming all night long, kicking and slapping, not intentionally of course! But it started to affect our relationship, my husband and I hardly slept and we became short-tempered and distant with each other.
So I decided to try to fix this problem once and for all. I asked myself these two questions:
- Why didn’t my kids sleep at night?
- Should you try a toddler air mattress? Would that be the solution?
I discovered that there are many reasons why children find it difficult to settle in or sleep in their own beds.
- They don’t feel safe
- Suffer from nightmares
- Your room may be too hot or even too cold.
- Is it too dark or too light
- The crib mattress may be too hard
I looked at all these reasons and more. I tried to calm them down before going to sleep; Sometimes telling a story helped, sometimes it didn’t.
You can try asking them directly if they are old enough to understand. You may be caught by answering immediately, “It’s too dark and I’m scared!” Perhaps a light bulb or your favorite sleeping toy could also solve the problem right away.
The answer can be as simple as that.
But if nothing seems to help and you’ve tried everything, you might want to try a toddler air mattress. This inflatable kids bed is specifically designed for children.
I used it to get my kids away from my bed. I started by keeping the inflatable bed to one side of my bed. This meant they still felt safe, but now my husband and I were able to sleep well … finally!
