Help!! I'm at my wits end. Bedtime for my two toddlers has turned into a nightmare, we're lucky if we get them to sleep by 9.30pm each night then they get up around 5.30/6am with multiple wakes throughout the night. I'm pregnant and exhausted and finding it really difficult!
A little background.. they're both age 2 (Irish twins, eldest turns 3 this month) they share a room and always have, which has never been a problem before. They used to be golden at bedtime, we would put them down with a bottle and 9/10 times they'd go straight to sleep. Now it's taking 1-2 hours to settle them, we put them up between 7-7.30 and they get out of bed literally every 2 minutes I'm not even exaggerating! As soon as I leave the room I hear them getting up. We don't stay in the room with them for long as I really don't want to get into that habit.
It means hubby and I are getting no evening as I'm too tired to stay up much past 9, plus I know the kids are definitely not getting as much sleep as they should be. They both wake 3-4 times a night and get up early, which means little sleep for everyone.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated!!
