1 year old split sleep

[billie11]

Hi there,
After some advise pls.
My one year old has started waking in the night and won't go back to sleep for two hours. Normally around 2am but does vary. She has recently started walking so don't know if a development thing or what... any tips? Typically she wakes at 6.30, has two naps, 60-90 mins in the morning around 10am and 30-60 mins in the afternoon around 2.30 and goes to bed 7.30.
Any help to get rid of that two hour night time party?
Thank you!!

Following for advice and also to sympathise! My 13 months old was never the best sleeper but we were finally at a point of occasional sleep through from 7.30-6.30 or just one wake up with a quick feed back to sleep. We now have one mega tantrum 2 hour wake up in the middle of the night and often one either side too 😫 Feeding makes no difference now either and actually I think makes it worse. He’s clearly desperate to back to sleep, if we pick him up to cuddle he just arches his back and reaches out to his cot but then cries even more when we put him back in!
A lot of things suggest that it’s linked to poor napping but unfortunately we’re stuck with that as he will only do one 45 minute nap on his three nursery days. Usually does two 1-1.5 hours at home.

We are having this. Our DS was 1 about 2 weeks ago. Last night DH spent 90 minutes laying him back down in the cot from standing, which eventually worked, but before that we tried a breastfeed and then a bottle with no joy! It's really hard as he's been like this for weeks.

We had this problem for a little while, it isn't fun!

For us, we pushed bedtime back a little and that solved the split night. But 7.30 is probably a good bedtime.

Is she cold?

I sympathise with you all! It's like a switch when the couple of hours is up! She's just falls fast asleep and into a deep sleep, so I just chuck her back in her cot and leave!

I don't think she's cold, wearing vest and baby grow, 2.5 tog and room good temp. I've given her extra to eat before bed as well. Not sure if I should try a shorter morning nap, or maybe just one nap? I'm running out of ideas.

With time did you put your little one to bed? X

DD dropped her nap 1 year old, maybe start transitioning to one nap a day.

That being said, she's 16 months and still not a great sleeper

A shorter morning nap could be a good call, but she's not getting excessive amounts of daytime sleep. Apparently the 1 year regression is all about nap fighting.

We went from in bed asleep at 7 to bed asleep at 7.30. He usually takes 5-10 minutes to fall asleep, so it we were putting him down at 7.20.

DD did this at 13 months. Just had to ride it out.
