Toddlers sleep

[gooseygander88]

So DD2 is 18months old and very rarely sleeps through the night, we go through stages of a week here and there and feel we've hit the jackpot but on the whole we have disturbed nights and early wake ups 😴 anyone else out there going through the same? She has a good nap for about 1.5 hours in the day and overall is getting enough amount of sleep raging from
11.5 - 12.5 hours a day. From one tired mummy.

DD is a year older but until 20 months she would wake up every single night. Me or DH would just get in to bed with her as it would have ruined our sleep but then one night, out of the blue, she slept through the night and apart from being poorly or one offs, she still does a year later. Fingers crossed her night sleep settles for you

DS2 is finally sleeping through the night 7.30-7 ish. He's 2yr 8m.

And now I've said that he'll be up in the night tonight.

Some kids sleep better than others - I'm not doing anything differently and suddenly he's sleeping. His brother has slept through since 5m old.

It doesn't make it any easier when you're living through it I know, but I think you'll send yourself mad trying to find a solution.

I've just written a very similar post. Also been reading about the 18m sleep regression so I think that explains most of it for us! I feel your pain.

I know they say sleep generally improves as they get older, DD1 who's 4 sleeps fine (most of the time)! Sometimes I just wonder if there's something we should be doing to encourage her to sleep through? I've heard about letting them sleep as long as they want as nap times but then again don't want her to have 'too' much sleep! Maybe I should cherish the nighttime cuddles???
