Any advice pleease. 22month old sleep

[threecurrantbuns]

Ds has become a nightmare. A few months ago he started to wake at 545 instead of his usually 630/7am.

I thought it was because we were on holiday and hip naps were all over the place.

When we got home I expected it to go back to normal. But instead he just keep waking earlier and sometimes in the night.

Last night map 430. Laid him back down and he world again at 5. Put him on our bed as sometimes he goes back to sleep but he didn't!

It's a hard one as my first had a patch of this and I left her to cry going in every ten minutes and it broke the habit after a few days.

But ds doesn't seem to give up or when he finally does he has woken other two dcs they will happily play for ages but then ds hears and wakes again. So really don't know how to break the habit. We have dc4 arriving in three months and would really love to get ds's sleep back on track asap so any tips would be much appreciated

Excuse the typos on my phone and didn't check predictive text

Can I lurk with you? Dd also 22 months is the same. Takes forever to go down in the evenings and will wake around 3 or 4am. Dc2 will be here in 2 weeks and I'm starting to panick!

I did see that there is some kind of sleep regression around this age so I'm hoping its something at wil sort itself out and pass quickly!

Of course I was hoping it would pass too but It's been months now so starting to wonder if I need to be doing something but don't know what. Also in fear as a friends of mine had The same problem and left him to it she regrets it and thinks that is The reason he still wakes in the night quite often and always gets up between 5 and 6. 6 being good.

I've tried cutting down his nap but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

My DD went from sleeping 7am-6am to around 6 hours a night before christmas. Waking anywhere between 3.30am and 5.30am every morning!. It didn't matter what we did at those wee hours, she would not sleep longer and was wide awake.

What finaly worked was getting a night light, swapping from a blanket to a duvet and a pillow and letting her stay up until she was shattered (9pm). She still woke crazy early for a week. But am happy to say she has now fallen back into a routine (8pm-6.30am).

To be honest I think she just wanted more time playing with DH and me and she was willing to stay up late, get up early to get one on one. Now she kinda knows she can if she wants I think she has settled down.

But who knows! It worked for us going with the flow and trying to be as relaxed as poss :-)

Well I had taken the go with the flow its a phase hoping it would pass but it started in august and has just got worse.

Can't decide if It's personality or me not taking control that caused it to be worse. It's hard when I trying to not disturb my eldest at that time of The am as she is a young yr1 at school and gets tired.

Tinker. Does your dd nap in the day? Thought about dropping it but it with dd1 she started waking later when I re introduced her nap wierdly
