My DD1 who is 2.5 yo has never been settled at night, didnt sleep through until 1yo and even then I had to get up 5+ times a night to plug her dummy back in (still doing that BTW but thats a whole different thread!).
She started having nightmares shortly before DD2 was born who is now 3 months.
She thrashes around crying and occasionally shouts in sleep too. She is waking 4-5 times a night and its difficult to settle her again.
Now for the crux of it - I have been sleeping on the sofa with DD2 since birth to avoid DD1 waking DD2 or visa versa.
I have tried reintroducing naps in the afternoon and have used a magic 'chase away the scaries' spray (bottle of hair shine spray). This worked for a few nights but last night was awful!
DD2 is waking at night for bf and Im sooo tired - any similar experiences with nightmares in toddlers? Any advice would be wonderful
