Sleep issues - please help
My 3 year old just wont stay in bed, he is really tired and has bad behaviour in the day time, so we put him to bed about 7.30pm.
Follow a relaxing bath, bedclothes, stories, but then he just keeps getting up, needing a wee, then a poo, crying at the stair gate on the stairs, I put him back, he gets up again, and again and again.
I am out of ideas, we give stickers for good bed time, treats etc, and take them away when not good
It took 45 mins to get him to bed tonight, so tomorrow will be more bad behaviour again.
Advice, anyone we appear to have tried everything

have you seen your healthvisitor, there are sleep trainers in some areas that can give expert help,
hve you tried controlled crying?
He is still in a cot but we were talking about putting him in a bed, but we're now not sure as he'll be up and down like a yo-yo!
He's also waking up 1 - 2 times in the night and very early!
No idea of how to help, just wanted to sympathise and let you know you're not the only one!
