2 year old sleep regression?

[NigellaFlawsome]

Help! My dd1 is 2.7 and for the past few weeks has been going to bed fine at her usual time (7pm ish) but then waking every hour crying her eyes out and unable to tell us what's wrong ???? She's still up at 6am every day but miserable all day because she's so tired. She gave up daytime naps over a year ago now, if she does fall asleep in the day she's up till 10pm then still restless all night. Any suggestions?

There is a sleep regression around 26 months.

How are things now?

No change unfortunately

A friend suggested it may be night terrors, we tried waking her and bringing her in with us but made no difference. Also tried a daytime nap yesterday but that didn't help. We have a 4 month old as well who is often woken by the noise.

I will ask nursery on Monday if they have noticed any change in her behaviour and may make an appointment with the GP for a check up for her.

I suppose it could be night terrors. We never had them so it's not something I think of but it does seam to fit. One of the triggers seems to be over tiredness so if she's not having a nap, it might be worth factoring in some quiet time today and an earlier bedtime tonight.

It does sound like a good idea to get her ears, throat and tummy checked too. Could her back teeth be coming through?

My 2.3 yr old is doing the same thing, I read him to sleep (he just moved into toddler bed), he goes to bed perfectly but wakes up screaming bloody murder every single night. I end up having to sleep next to his bed on the floor to get him to settle, and it's making me feel so sick and exhausted in the morning (I'm pregnant too), and to top it off he's started waking at 5am on the dot every single morning where he used to sleep in until 6.30am. I have no idea what to do. All the techniques don't work with him (I've been tring for weeks now, he still wake sscreaming for me, then wakes again in the night). I have a 10 month old baby too so it's not an option to just let him scream the house down/throw himself against the door every night. I guess I'll just bee sleeping on the floor until this "phase" is over (so for the next 6 months or so? :/ )
