I’m at my wits end with my toddlers sleep,she currently is 2 years 3 months. Her sleep has never been good since a newborn suspected silent reflux/milk intolerance she completely dairy free as a result. Has also been a terrible teether up for hours crying and crying despite calpol/nurofen, for the last few months it has been relentless up for 3 hours in the middle of the night with trapped wind(doctors have said she has an underdeveloped stomach something she will grow out off, she has bouts on and off of wind) she just screams and screams. I pace up and down only way that will somewhat settle her, for the last week this has somewhat settled but still up 4 times a night and then an early start this morning was 4:30. My DP tries his best but she will not let him near him at bedtime or night only wants me. She also hates our bed will not co sleep.

I just don’t know what to do I work full time so exhausted feel like I have no life im so sleep deprived, don’t know what im looking hope this will pass!

Hi did you ever get anywhere with this?! I just wanted to reach out to say I’m in the exact same position as you ! Currently writing this at 4.45, awake since 3am. It’s every single night for us DD is awake with tummy ache. Relentless! I feel your pain with a full time job it’s too much :( dr has been really unhelpful to us, I’d love to hear more about the underdeveloped stomach yours mentioned.. am hoping you’ve now got a miracle cure and are fast asleep ;)

Hi everyone. Here for some support, advice, reassurance maybe ?
My wee one is 6 months next week, since he was little he has been a pretty content wee thing and at one stage from about 10 weeks to 16 weeks we had him sleeping 10/11-6/7 and he was happy. 16 weeks on dot sleep went to pot and I knew it was the sleep regression (possibly also a leap but I’m still not sure on them). I think we were starting to come out the other side just after he turned 5 months then he was hit with tonsillitis and a chest infection and we had a week of hell when he was feeling crap. He’s been on antibiotics so his nappies are awful and I also think he may be teething? He’s not slept well now in about 8/10 weeks apart from the odd night and I’m at my wits end. I tried to get him in his own room to see if we are disturbing him and he won’t settle, he feels the minute I put him down but doesn’t seem to notice as much in the next to me, every night is a battle to get him bathed and fed before he’s so over tired and it doesn’t seem to matter how early I do things now !

he’s had some calpol and nurofen and is pretty settled on me as I type this but he has to be held/rocked to sleep he cannot self settle at all and at the moment is waking from every sleep cycle. Im a very very patient person but I can feel myself getting so frustrated at the situation and just hoping he would even give us 3/4 hour chunks at night. Just wondering if anyone has gone through similar and if they have advice or can tell me what else to expect ? Funnily enough once this started getting worse again it said he was in Leap 5 so I don’t know if that means something? He’s just mastered sitting on his own for a few minutes and rolled from belly to back once yesterday ?

thanks so much for reading :)
