Advice needed! 2YO no longer sleeping properly

[Nate3511]

My 2 YO son has recently stopped sleeping through the night...and still gets up early.

A long time ago we went through the whole sleep training process, and he was on an excellent schedule of in bed by 730 pm (going to sleep by himself) and waking up between 6 and 6 30.

For about a month and a half now he has needed help going to sleep and "wakes" frequently through the night; eventually he stumbles out of his room and goes to sleep on the couch in the living room.

There has been no change to his surroundings, routine, etc.

Anyone had similar problems? Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Does he still nap? Could be that he's outgrown his nap and isn't tired enough at bedtime to sleep through.

he's in day care so they have a set nap time from 1 - 2 45
when i have him at home on the weekend, he definitely gets tired/cranky without one. I can always test it this weekend though, see how he does.
thanks

It's not usually a sign of no longer needing a daytime nap if they're waking at night - it's more likely to be a developmental and/or growth spurt.
