I have a 2.5 year old and a 9 week old. My 2.5 year old has always hit sleep regressions but also generally been good at going to bed with no fuss and sleeping through the night.
Since the arrival of his little bro he's been fighting bedtime terribly. He now wants someone to sit with him whilst he falls asleep and comes out of his room several times a night. My husband was letting him sleep with him for a couple of nights but now realised he can't do that because our son doesn't really go back to sleep and just thrashes about.
Last night my husband returned him to his room twice and the second time at. 3am he would not settle, he was talking constantly and moving around his room and reading books. I eventually managed to prize the baby off me and went in and got him to go to sleep.
I just can't take much more of this. We've got a tricky baby with silent reflux and possible CMPA who has been unsettled for the rest of the night and would only sleep on my chest.
I'm at my last eb. Has anyone also been through this and can tell me it gets better?Is there something wrong with my toddler?? He won't nap, gets up at 5 (always has) and now he has large periods of awake time in the night too. We have a consistent bedtime routine. We have tried a gro clock, night light too.
