Toddler, baby and parents all sleep deprived

My two year old wakes several times a night, which is leaving her very tired but the earlier she goes to bed (currently between 6.30 and 7) the earlier she gets up in the morning (currently between 5 and 6am). She is obviously exhausted but just refuses to stay in bed any longer. She also doesn't sleep at all during the day.

Baby also has the same problem with not staying in bed, but is still breastfed and can wake as often as every half an hour throughout the night. It literally becomes half an hour of getting him back to sleep then only another 15 minutes to half hour before he wakes back up. He can go all day from 5am until 6.30pm with only a 30 minute nap, which he only does if I keep him in my arms (he always wakes straight up if I put him down).

Dh and me are exhausted and the little ones are in fowl moods because they are tired too. I don't know what is causing this sleeping problem and worry they may have ADHD like their older brother.

Please HELP.

Maybe try posting in the Sleep section?

Could you two year old be cutting her second year molars? My ds hasn't slept through the night for a week and is waking twice during night and up for thd day between 5-6am.

Two yr old already has her second molars and has always been a dreadfully sleeper, but thanks for the suggestion.

Didn't realise there was a specific sleep section, will repost there thanks.
