Quick Poll re Toddler Sleep

[Art3mis]

I'm not a journo, just trying to make a point.

DS is 2.5. He is bf to sleep (I've recently dropped all night feeds but hopefully I'll be able to drop this one in the next month or so and have stopped completely), and then I/we go to to him between 1-4 times through the night for a hug/reassurance whatever.

How often do/did you go in to your toddler around this age? What did you to when you went to them? When did you stop going to them?

I think it's still reasonable that we're having to go see him, H does not.

My 2.5 year old would normally sleep 6-6 and maybe have to go in once or twice. I started work again on a Sunday & since then she screams from 6-10pm (we're doing CC so do go in) So come 10pm we're exhausted, go to bed & she, still awake, sleeps on a camp bed on our floor. Even then she disturbs several times. She won't cosleep. I feel like I'm dying a slow death at the minute.

Toddler nearly 3. Tends to go to sleep okay ish. Last night? Had me up 7 times between 10-1 and I finally caved when she woke at 2 and bought her into my bed where she woke up a further 3 times and has just got up for the day.

This is standard for her. She has never ever slept and I’m fucking broken by it. Tried all sorts with her. Nothing works.

Dc1 was sleeping 8pm-7am at 11 months. Stopped breastfeeding at 12 months but still used a bottle to get to sleep.

Dc2 is 3 years old now. Started sleeping through just before the age of 3. Before this would wake once a night, usually upset, and need lots of attention to get back to sleep. She still struggles to get to sleep at night.

Mine coslept and breastfed through the night as a toddler, but was sleeping through in his own bed in my room at two and a half.

DS 3.5 and wales a couple of times a night, we just need to put his duvet back on or give a quick pat and he’ll go back to sleep. Unless he’s ill like last night where he woke every hour pretty much.

He’s asleep around 7 but wakes up at 5am every single day. Slept through the night a handful of times.

Mine is 2. She goes to bed at 6 and wakes generally at 7am next morning. Has done since she was 10 months.

Ds slept 7-7 from 11 weeks old apart from episodes of teething and illness. Moved house when he was 2.9 and been a nightmare sleeper ever since. Can go in to him up to 5 times a night so given in now and he comes into our bed at first wake. He’s 3.2

Thanks all.

Has shown H that maybe there is no normal for toddler sleep! Coincidently, toddler slept through for first time ever last night!

When our dc were toddlers (and even when they were young babies) they went to bed at 7, without a feed, and just slept until 7 the following morning. If they cried it meant there was a problem so we obvs went in to see them but they rarely did.
