DD is 28 months old and has slept well since just over a year. But now she's started waking up for a few hours every night. She goes to bed between 7 and 730 without a problem but has started waking up an hour or two later wanting to play for 2-3 hours. (Actually I don't know if she's been asleep; I can hear her playing sometimes, sometimes she's quiet, so maybe dozing?) She wakes up and starts calling for a cuddle or a pick up; as soon as we get her she's happy and raring to go. Eventually she goes back to sleep in her own room, by herself and sleeps through 'till morning. I'd leave her to cry it out if I thought that was right - but maybe this is just a phase they all go through? Recently got her a toy that she can light up on her own so she controls her own light. I am currently limiting her daytime sleep to 2 hours in the hopes that might help; hesitate to limit it more as she's miserable when I wake her. Any other suggestions/thoughts? Getting more tired each night!!!!!
