Hello. I am new to this so hope I am posting in the right place and that someone can shed some light for me! My 24mth DS has always been a great sleeper and until a month ago was doing 7.15pm - 6.45am every night without a peep (illnesses aside) Then all of a sudden he started waking up to 4 times a night, sometimes extremely distressed but most of the time he calls out a few times and then gets himself back to sleep. He's also started waking earlier despite the black outs. First I thought it may be the clocks changing, then that given that he's really starting to talk a lot now it may be his little brain being active at night with no control to stop it, then I thought maybe active imagination/bad dreams. Thought it was teething but he has all but 2 last molars and they don't look like they're erupting. I've tried a night light in case it was a sudden dislike of the dark....but nothing seems to break this new cycle. Ordinarily i'd just go with it and think it's a phase he'll come out of (they always do don't they?) but I'm 13 weeks pregnant, husband's workign away form home and I feel like I am being tortured with sleep deprivation!!!! Can anyone help or been through something similar? Thanks for listening to the epic!
