Can’t sleep

My 20 month for the last week has decided to wake up at 1am and cry uncontrollably until picked up. Every time he goes back down to sleep he starts crying again. I’m at my wits end because after the 2 hour battle I’m then wide awake and can’t get back to sleep.

It’s now 05:03 and my alarm for work is 6am. I’m on the 4th night of no sleep (3 hours max) and I feel like I’m going insane. He’s always slept so well so this has hit me like a ton of bricks and I’m scared it won’t end. i honestly don’t feel safe to drive.

Is he teething or coming down with something at all? Have you tried giving him some nurofen or Calpol before bed to see if it's possible pain causing it?

Agree with you, it could very well be the back molars if they haven’t appeared already Smile
