30 month old wakes up at 2am every night

My 20 month old usually is a good sleeper she used to sleep right through up until about 2 months ago, now she gets up between 1am and 3am every night and is awake for about 2 hours. She is in her own room and own bed she only has 1 nap in the day about lunch time for an hour.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to break this habit and get her to sleep through again ?

Thanks

This is my 23 month old! She has been doing this for the last 2-3 months also. Previous to this she slept 7-7 with no wakenings. Her back molars are coming through so I've been putting it down to that. She settles taking a few ounces of milk and goes back to sleep till morning but feeding during the night is not ideal at this age. Watching and hoping for suggestions too.

It's so frustrating isn't it! I thought it could be down to teeth too but I haven't seen any new ones come through as of yet. Hopefully our LO's will get back into the swing of things soon, I'm exhausted!

I have an 18 month old doing this! Except her awake hours are more like 11.30pm - 2am.. I’m absoloutly exhausted & really struggling at work!

Previously, an OK sleeper. Not perfect but 80% she slept through & the rest were minor disturbances that she’s settle herself from.

Are your little ones upset when they wake? My little girl is initially just awake, chatting to herself but as time goes on & she seemingly can’t get back to sleep, we descend into huge screaming fits.. it breaks my heart to see her so upset.

Her little mind just can’t seem to switch off & nor can her body.. she rolls around, half falls asleep then jolts awake. Then just gets furious about it. She’s a very busy child, on the go no stop & also learning like a sponge at the mo.. maybe that’s the issue Confused

Sad

I hope it settles for you both really soon. This equally tired Mumma sends her love!

Watching and hoping for some advice here too!
My 2yo has started doing this since I've had to take my 3yo to the toilet once a night (they share a room) and it doesn't matter how quiet I am she woke, but now she just wakes on her own.
She's just been up for the past hour crying more and more and nothing I do helps, but leaving her to cry it out doesn't work either as she gets more worked up!!

Really struggling with knowing what to do, I don't want to keep going in to her and undoing all our progress, I've had them both sleeping through the night in the same room for almost a year.. no idea what to do x

I'm another one. He's got all his teeth so can't use that as an excuse. He's in bed with me and driving me demented

The 2 year sleep regression?

annamc28 · 30/10/2018 07:41

My little girl does the exact same wakes up and is really chatty and raring to go like it's the morning . If I put her in my bed she sometimes will go back to sleep but most of the time she just fidgets and rolls around.
Fingers crossed us mummy's get some sleep!
