My toddler never sleeps.

I have a 21 month old and he’s never slept through the night no matter what techniques of advice we have followed. It doesn’t matter if he naps or he doesn’t he still will not sleep all night. At nap time he will scream and shout for a long time before he eventually falls asleep. We make sure he isn’t too hot or cold, not hungry or thirsty, clean nappy and comfortable dark room but he just doesn’t sleep. I feel awful but after all this time it’s catching up to me and I feel mentally drained.

Neither did mine.

She's in her 20s now, and still distant need much sleep.

(Probably not what you want to hear)

I wouldn’t mind so much but he is so crabby all day which makes it harder when your running on no sleep

Sorry OP, sleep deprivation is absolute torture... is LO still in cot or cot bed? Cant remember which age mine switched over. Can DC get out of bed and come to your room?

DD1 didn’t sleep through until after 2 and DD2 is 22 months and hasn’t slept through yet. I’m afraid it’s pretty normal but it is shit.
