Toddler Sleep Hell

[BarberellaWife]

My toddler has been absolutely awful for the last week with sleeping. She is up for hours and hours every night and also takes hours to settle to sleep. She has been poorly but she's on the mend now.

Last night for example she didn't sleep until 9pm when bedtime was 7pm and then was up from 1am until 5am and wouldn't sleep.

She literally just screams and screams and only stops when we pick her up out of her cot. She won't sleep in our bed either, just wants to play.

I am at a loss of what to do and feel ill at the thought of bedtime every day. I'm mentally drained.

Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?

How old is your toddler?
What is her daytime sleep routine?
Is she going to sleep independently? How do you get her to sleep?

I wish I had advice but I'm in a similar situation. She's just turned 2 and for the last 2 weeks refusing to go to sleep, screams and screams. And if she's up during the night the same and won't just cuddle and settle back to sleep. She's just up, literally for hours, never used to do this. She used to self settle to sleep every night and for every nap.
She's refusing to nap as well so I'm at a loss. Stay strong and pray it's yet another phase! Xx
