4 year old DD still waking

[Proudmummy2456]

Is it normal for a 4 year old to still be getting up in the night? She seems to do it every night I just get up and put her back to bed and she falls asleep. I'm pregnant with dc2 and I am going to be getting up enough with the little one in December!

My 4yo still wakes too. Usually 1-3 times a night. I am up with him more than my 4mo. I talked to the school nurse about it a few weeks back and she said it was because he was so bright, well thank you very much but that doesn't really help! Our problem is he wakes up and wants a full blown conversation about something and I am never awake enough and it takes ages to get him back off.

Sorry I'm absolutely no help but I'm sending my sympathies. You are not alone!

my four year old also wakes up 2-3 times a night. My 12 week old, however, sleeps through.

My 5 year old is up twice a night without fail.

Yes, my 4 year old usually gets up at least once, for a wee or a cuddle, or both. DH and I split it between us, he gets up for the 4 yr old, I get up for the 11 month old.

My 3 year old wakes every day at least once. He's always been a crappy sleep and my patience is starting to wear thin. The biggest bug bear is he resettled quite easily usually but then I'm wide awake

My 5 year old still wakes up at night and calls me to go to his side. He did this nearly every night when he was four, and now a bit less, but stills does it. It's so tiring and we have to work the following day.

When I wake up to his calling, I get this terrible pang of anxiety as I might not be able to go back to sleep, and start worrying about my general mood and energy levels the following day.

Sometimes I go to work so tired, I dread the day ahead. I guess it's life for those with poor sleepers.

My 4yo does most nights and climbs in bed with us. Some nights I'm too tired to realise until morning but if she wakes me then I usually return her to her room. It's bad enough sharing a bed with her dad being pregnant never mind a wriggly 4yo too! She says she's scared of the dark but has always been in her own room since 7 months and we've tried various night lights

My 4 year old hasn't slept a full night yet! She rarely gets to sleep before 9pm and is up at least 3 times a night. It's horrendous working full time and doing this. I'm hoping when she starts school this may change, although she's in full time nursery so I'm not sure if this is wishful thinking. I find it hard to stay calm, and it's really effecting relationship with dp as we get no alone time. I'm really starting to struggle. I've tried CIO and sitting with her and moving away slowly but after weeks and weeks of doing it there isn't even a slight improvement. I'm trying something at the moment called the sleep game and it's basically child lead. It's very early days so I haven't seen much improvement yet but I'm pinning my hopes on this before contacting health visitor as I'm worried when she starts school she will be so tired her behaviour will be bad. Basically with the sleep game you do the whole bed time routine thing bath book bed cuddle etc. then she can play in her room quietly until she tells me it's bed time. She's not aloud out of the room unless it's bed time if she comes out before then it's bed time she seems to have kind of got the rules of the 'game' which means although she's still not asleep she's at least in her room and I can get on with packed lunches and washing up etc it's meant to teach them to feel comfortable without you in their bedroom? And then in turn be able to self settle. I'm sceptical but will see its worth a try.
