Did your 2.5 year old go through a sleep regression or am I just doomed?

Wondering did anyone else go through a sleep regression this age? We are on week 5 of crap sleep with DD who previously slept perfectly every night will it ever end?

Do i put her in a single bed or will it mess things up more?

Molars?

Abouttimemum · 22/06/2021 12:49

What’s the routine, always just go to bed on their own? what about naps, still having them, maybe too long? Also as per pp maybe back molars although DS had all of his through by age 2

Has all teeth, no nap and same routine as always, used to sleep through without fail!

We are going through separation anxiety here. Has always gone into bed fine, now suddenly cries every night. Could this be the cause?

So we're going through something. And it's awful! There was also another thread on here recently about this- and I'm hoping this is 'a thing' and not permanent!

I think we might be on our second month- though time has no meaning any more. He was sleeping through! Now he's climbing out of his cot bed and wandering round!

Is your LO the same age? Really feel your pain, its exhausting.

No advice but currently going through the same thing. DD2 almost 2.5 waking 8-10 times a night for the last three weeks. At my wits end.

Londonlady92 · 23/06/2021 19:35

God I really relate, has to be a regression surely?

My 2.5 year old starting screaming the house down at bedtime a couple of months ago. Had a good couple of weeks of screaming and excuses not to go to bed, falling asleep gone 9pm and waking up at 5. We put it down to warmer weather and lighter mornings. Having a blackout blind up seemed to help but might be a coincidence. I think it’s just an age based phase- wouldn’t suggest changing her bed until she’s settled back down!

Curioushorse · 23/06/2021 19:49

Yes, sorry, mine is 2.5.

So......either we’ve all just gone on to Mumsnet to search out advice, or this seems to be a thing!

Well, good luck to all of you!

Slight comfort knowing im not alone although wouldn't wish this on anybody its torture!!

How are you getting on? We are still having a really rubbish time, 2 months on!

My DS was similar OP at about the same age. It was about the time he transfered from cot to bed. He kept getting up or waking up crying, saying he was scared. We started leaving the landing light on and it helped loads. It settled down eventually after a few months. He's a great sleeper now.

She already has a night light sadly doesn't help:(
