My dt are just about to turn 3. One is a good sleeper, 12 hours a night - wonderful. However, the other wakes up 3 times on a good night and 5 or 6 times on a bad one. It's usually just a case of chucking the covers back over him so we're not up for long, but for myself and dh it means we haven't had an unbroken night's sleep in 3 years! I'm not a good sleeper anyway, so most days feel like I'm never fully awake!
Was I totally naive to expect that they'd both be sleeping through most nights by this age? Is this really common and normal? Most advice you find on night waking on the internet talks about establishing a good bedtime routine, but we have one so I'm not sure why he does it. I'm just fed up of feeling tired all the time.
Are we getting something wrong or is this just what some kids do?
