Hi, 19 month old DS had been sleeping through in his cot a good 5/7 nights a week for a few months. Then just before 17 months he suddenly started taking an age to get to sleep and then he'd either refuse to sleep in his bed or wake at 3am for a good 2 solid hours. Then he sleeps late in the morning because he's too tired. Due to the timing I thought it was the 18 month sleep regression, but hes nearly 20 months now and if anything it's getting worse.
Currently still trying to get him to sleep. It's been going on about three hours now. He has one nap around 2 hours at 1300, and now he's getting 9.5 hours max over the course of the night. I don't think is enough personally and we're all suffering. I'm out of ideas and starting to get really down as we get no evening or time as a couple and it all feels so hopeless.
We've tried gentle sleep training to no avail, and I'm not a cry it out person so please don't suggest that. We can't leave him as he's in a toddler bed and just gets out and runs around, gets on our bed or climbs stair gate, so we have to stay with him.
Just looking for some advice, or at least a light at the end of the tunnel that it will end.
