Toddler Bed Transition

Switched DD 3+ weeks ago after she climbed out of her crib.
She did great! No issues. Stayed in bed etc.
Fast forward to yesterday--she was sleeping through the night. No nap issues, but would get up and stand at the door quietly.
I put her down for bed 15 minutes ago.
She is currently standing at the door SCREAMING.

What do I do? Go in and put her back in bed or let her figure it out and put herself back?

Ugh. This sucks.

Re: Toddler Bed Transition

I put them in bed and told them they need to stay in bed. Then if they continued to get out I put them back without saying a word, over and over again until they stayed put. It only took them a few days to catch on and stay in bed with no problem. My kids were 17 months, 15 months and 18 months and this worked for all 3 of them. After those first few days they never got out if bed(except to use the bathroom).

All I can say is Chat Icon
That is really good!
DD is almost 19 months & I can't imagine putting her in a bed & actually getting her to stay in it.
I'm sure it wasn't fun putting them in over & over again but seems like it paid off.
