Toddler sleep gone to pot

8 replies

17 months old and sleep is dreadful, it’s never been perfect but at one point was manageable with one wake up. Now she wakes up constantly, no sooner do I settle her in her cot than she wakes up again. I’m getting no sleep.

I just said to DH I was really worried about it when I go back to work next week and his response is ‘oh don’t worry it will be fine.’

How long has this particularly bad period been ongoing?

Likely a napping issue.

What’s the room temperature sleep sack/duvet situation? My toddler does this if she’s cold.

Last few weeks. She does have a warm sleeping bag, she honestly shouldn’t be cold. I think it’s teeth but it’s kind of become a habit that I’m not sure how to break.

Is it thicker than 2.5 tog? My little one needs a 3.5tog to be warm enough!

Teeth also quite likely! How long has it been going on for?

I got this with one of mine before every “leap”. She could be mastering a new skill or something but it’ll pass.
I gave in and co-slept until it passed as I couldn’t get him back in the cot on wakings. Sometimes you just need one or two nights of good sleep to make it seem more bearable! The transition to the toddler bed made a huge difference for wakings. I think he was ready for a proper bed a good few months before I eventually transitioned him to a floor bed.

It’s horrendous. She just won’t settle at all, not even co sleeping. I’ve given her Calpol and she’s had milk and water, changed her nappy in case she was uncomfy. It’s bad now but how am I going to cope next week when I have to be up at 6?

Co sleep when required (mainly to aid your sleep disturbance) and go to bed when they do.

Thank you. I don’t mind co sleeping but it just doesn’t work, she just thrashes around and wakes up constantly.
