Please help me break this habit of 2 yr old waking at 130 am to come in to mommys bed

I know its my fault for taking her but ( and i hate to use this asan excuse but) i have to get up at 5 and 2) my ds who is 5 months is sleeping in the other room.

A few times i woudl wake up in the middle of the night mysefl and before i could go back i woudl hear her bang her head on teh back of her crib( solid back ) and then she would start yelling for me. LAst night i let it go on for a few minuites hoping she would go back but no it just got louder and the shrieking strated so i took her in. I dont knwo if this means its time for a big girl bed or what? Ideas?

We are having the same issues. It's horrible and yes, all my fault b/c I started it. Now he yells for me everynight and if I don't come get him, he climbs out himself.

I'd be happy to hear if anyone can offer any advice besides letting him cry it out.

Ella has been doing this as well. Every morning at 4am she gets up and I will put her in our bed and she goes straight back to sleep.
Dh is complaining that I should not enable this habit with Ella. It's really hard for me not get her and put her in our bed.
