18 month sleep regression. Can someone tell me it will end this week pls

Just that
I want my good sleeper back.
The 5am starts are killing me.

It will end, I just can’t promise it will be this week

Just been through it with my Granddaughter so I can totally sympathise!

No advice but some solidarity from me. The 5am starts have been 5 out of 7 nights on average for us for nearly a month now. I need this regression to end!

I think we're going through the 18 month sleep regression too! Last night DD was up at 3am for an hour. No advice but let's hope it ends soon! 5am starts suck, can you not go to bed earlier to get a decent block of sleep?

Been going to bed at 9 to help!
My DH now brings her to me and I pretend to still be asleep, he wakes at 5.30 anyway so once he has to go he lays her on our bed, and I "sleep" and she just lies there. Doesn't want to play, but she does want company.
Sometimes she drifts off again, but sometimes doesn't
But I still wake knackered.
Oh and she needs us in the room when falling asleep - she didn't before! Today it took 40 mins. If DH dared to leave her she would scream.
Ugh hope this ends soon!

MellowMelly how was it with her? Did it get worse before it got better?
I think my DD is getting worse.

It's a killer, isn't it! They will get through it. It took a while, a month or so of 4am starts (and no sitting in bed with us!) So tough but you will get through it.

@KimchiLaLa
It got worse before it got better! We had a few episodes of screeching . Teething didn't help either as it makes her more fretful.

We just have had to stay really consistent with her sleep routine (but have chucked in a few extra cuddles for comfort) and the last two nights she has been happy to go to sleep with just her cuddly Bunny for company again. So I guess it’s lasted 3 weeks all in all.
