How often does your one year old wake up

[lovely36]

How often does your little one wake up in the night if at all? My 16 month old wakes about literally every other hour. I'm very exhausted. He is teething though, but when he's not he still wake up about twice sometimes more. Any one else's child do this?? I'm thinking it's not normal

I know my baby is younger but my 10 month old wakes every two hours for a feed. Can’t see that stopping anytime soon!

My two slept through at the night long before age 1 (sorry not bragging). Of course they would have unsettled times due to teething, illness etc. A 16 month should be able to sleep right through but all children are different.

Does he sleep much through the day? Obviously more sleep during the day often means they struggle to get to sleep at night but too little day time napping can also be a bad thing. There’s a saying ‘sleep promotes sleep’. Bizarrely if my DC fought sleep at that sort of age during the day they would be over tired and unsettled at night but a good nap made them more settled. Maybe try tiring him or more in the day? I used to take DS to the park. But I know this is more difficult during the winter...

What do you do when he wakes? Do you just leave him bed to settle himself? Or do you get him up? Does he have a comforter?

I have friends who’s childen woke up a lot during the night but they would let them get up and play and watch TV so the parents could doze which to the child made it okay to get up and it became a routine!!

Is he still in a cot? Have you thought about changing to a bed? Might not be the best idea if gets up but maybe a little bit mroe space will help.

Good luck! Nothing worse than broken sleep! My two were good at this age but having some difficulties getting DS age 7 nearly 8 to doze off! 😴😴😴

My one year old wakes every couple of hours all night. Sometimes every hour on a bad night. It’s torture.

My 1 year old doesn't wake in night regularly. She has the odd bad dream but goes back to sleep quite easily or she may come too but self settles back to sleep

Have you tired ansbeol teething gel before bed this help my son as well as offering cold cucmber and carrots to eat during the day. Mines 17 month's. He may wake up once during the night from a cuddle and thtas its

Please do not give teething gel!!! It was in the news recently for being a cause for certain illnesses. Do research on it. But anyway at one year anywhere between 3 and 25 times. At 14 months id say between 3 and 8 times at 15 to 16 months between 3 and 5 times now at almost 18 months 2-3 times and this is only beacuse i stopped the day naps altogether he used to sleep from 9 till 8 with tons of wake up times inbetween now since stopping the naps he sleeps at half 7 to quater past 8 with only average 2 wake up. So he gets almost 13 hours but with 2 disturbances. Im so glad i decided to cut it even though i want that break after lunch. .... teething gel one quick search... TeethingCreams andGelsAlso HaveRisks. ... The use of benzocainegels, sprays, ointments, solutions, and lozenges for mouth and gum pain can lead to a serious — and sometimes fatal — condition called methemoglobinemia, in which the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells is greatly reduced...thats from fda... literally you will get so much research and parents warning you off it. Better safe than sorry. X

He has a nap at noon for about an hour. He used to sleep at 7 but I've stretched it to 8 in hope that he would wake less frequently. He goes to sleep at 8 and everyday at 11pm he wakes up crying. I've tried to let him settle himself back to sleep. Some days he does but usually he screams and I ended up going into his room to comfort him. I give him a cuddle and he goes to sleep. Then he wakes up two hours later!!! Same screaming until I go give him a cuddle again. He doesn't have a dummy, he never had one. Anyway he goes to sleep again and will wake up another two times!! It's very exhausting and idk what to do anymore. I'm hoping it will get better???

Also when he wakes up I try to give him as little stimulation as possible. I will go in.. he normally wants a hug. So I will hug him and he goes straight back to sleep. However, it's very exhausting waking up all the time during the night.

I am in the same situation what u are describing with my 18m old. I know this is an older post but please give me some hope this gets better!? Or how u may have changed it??? Thank u!!! X x
