2 year old isn't sleeping at night and when he does he awakes after 3 hours

[KatexWyattx]

Hello I need advice/help I'm struggling to get my son to sleep and stay asleep can anyone help me

What time do they wake up? Maybe wake them up at 7am and pack their day full of fun activities. That way, they'll be totally exhausted by bedtime. By the way, when do you put them to bed?

My lo does this too. Only sleeps solidly for about three hours (try to get her to sleep by 8 but the reality is usually more like 9), then it's wake-ups every whuppabout until late 4 of later when she' ll do another 2.5 or 3 hours before being up and at it.

She takes a nap anytime between 11.30 and 2.30 and would sleep for a couple of hours if let. If she naps later it gets ridiculously close to dinner time.

I'm really interested to see any replies as both myself and dp v tired and run down with this.

I know a child minder who wakes here (a little bit older) after one hour, but we're usually so desperate for a break and a kid down ourselves we haven't got that established.
