Our DS turned 2 last month and has since been waking a lot throughout the night. He has only had a 3 month period where he has slept through (19-22months). We start by leaving him for a few minutes but it soon turns to him screaming our names and getting really distressed. As soon as we enter his room, he lays down, we tuck him in and he falls asleep. This can happen 4/5 times a night. We always have the same bedtime routine and is able to settle himself to sleep initially. We’ve tried every bit of advice we have been given e.g night light, using a duvet instead of a sleeping bag now he’s older, lavender plug ins, comfort toys, relaxing music and controlled crying. We are now stuck! We are all exhausted and it is really affecting our daily life. I can’t seen to find anyone else who is going through the same thing and I feel very alone and isolated. Can anyone help? Has anyone else had the same issues?

Hi There Chilly16,

We hope you don't mind but we've moved your thread across to the Parenting board where we think you're more likely to get some support and advice from our wise users.

We know sleep deprivation is entirely awful so we sympathise.

Good Luck and we hope our post gives this a bump for you.
