Nearly 2 year old never slept through night!!

[Bee182814]

I thought I would post out of desperation really as I've tried everything else....
My DS will be 2 in June and has never slept through in his life - in fact he wakes every 30-40 minutes throughout the night. My slerp app tell me thst i get an average of 1 hour 27 mins dlerp a night! I'm due DC 2 in august and have suffered badly with sickness and tiredness this pregnancy to the point where the lack of sleep is now making me very depressed. I've tried everything, I've got every sleep book under the sun, paid these online 'sleep experts' for sleep plans, tried leaving him to cry it out (he will literally go for hours!) Begged GP and HV to help and they won't do anything. He has a solid routine and is well fed, stimulated etc. Anyone have any advice? I'm desperate, this is ruining my life!

Hi.. when did your DS finally sleep through and what did you do to solve the problem. .. Am in the same situation in 2021😢😢

I wish I had the answer. I’m still struggling :/

Going through the exact same thing here. Were you able to find any help, find any solution? If so, please let me know. Desperate here too.

Hi, sorry this is late now but did you solve your sleep issues? I have an 18 month old and I’m out of my mind my husband and I are so depressed. He cries sometimes screams…tho not nightmares, about 15 times a night. I’m so miserable and it’s affecting my relationship with him. It also doesn’t help that he screams non stop too x

@pumpkinpie27 I would suggest starting your own thread as others may not reply as it is a zombie thread.

Hi. My DS also woke up often at night until around 5. I found keeping a water bottle near his bed for him to drink helped. Often I would go in, let him have a sip of water and he would go back to sleep again. Maybe dry throat?

He still wakes up from time to time now, only difference is that he will have his water on his own rather than calling for me.

He'll get there but I don't think it's anything particularly abnormal or to be worried about. X

Hi have you got an update on your situation ? My 18month old hasn't slept through since she was born . She wakes up 5 to 8 times through the night , about 6 times in the evening too . I just don't know what to do anymore x

Hi, I’m so sorry believe me I feel your pain. I have a 22 month old boy who has never slept and screams most nights. Anything from going in 3-15 times a night. We have even had him the hospital who basically said he’s fine just doesn’t sleep. It’s not nightmares but may be bad dreams. He doesn’t feed through the night either. Sometimes I just put his dummy in but other times like last night I had to put him in our bed (which I’ve never done for safety so now he hates it anyway). I have tried EVERYTHING. Lavender sprays, lights, music, change of mattress I have tried everything. I can’t sleep train as he’s a small human now he would be hysterical. I just don’t like it. I dream every night that he will sleep through but it doesn’t come. And then I have to listen to nursery mums saying how amazing their toddler sleeps. It’s made me depressed I haven’t been able to work properly. Anyway, I’m sorry for the huge message and I know I haven’t helped but I do have a point. YOUR NOT ALONE. Please don’t think there is something wrong with them. It WILL get better. I have a 7 year old now and he was the same which is why we waited so long. Honestly your not alone if you need to message me feel free as I feel alone with this misery too. He slept from around 19 months btw so I’m still waiting. Oh one thing that does make it worse is sugar! He has zero sugar probably from 2pm (unless he is with his nan) Xx
