DS2 is waking at 4.15 am and NOT going back to sleep. I have tried ignoring/bringing into my bed/milk/no milk etc etc but he just doesnt want to sleep. I also tried just ignoring him and he chatted to himself endlessly, gradually getting louder until I cracked after an hour and a half and got him up. After getting up he then naps for 45 mins at about 8 and same again in the afternoon, tho sometimes for longer, from about 1. He doesnt seem too hot/cold, no noises waking him so far as I can tell....he goes to bed knackered at 6.45pm so not hideously early. I know lack of sleep is a much discussed topic on any parenting forum but has anyone ever solved this problem...or is there something Im missing that someone can spot from my description of what hes doing...? Any thoughts or suggestions welcome because I am truly worn out at the mo...and if I don't respond this evening it'll be because Im off to bed soon but I will check tomorrow and respond etc. Thanks!
