I've posted before about my DS not being the best sleeper. We've never really cracked it with him in terms of sleeping through (unless he's at his grandparents 🙄). He's teething at the moment and lately is taking longer naps of 1 to 2 hours. A typical day is up at 6am, 1st nap 8am (his wake window is usually 2 hours on the dot). Usually he has another nap in the afternoon and maybe a cat nap around 4. He can self settle, he does it for naps and has done it before at night but the last week, bed time has been HELL. We've tried 2 hours after his last nap when he shows tired cues but he will scream bloody murder for a good hour (we don't leave him to CIO FYI). He may then settle maybe for 2 to 3 hours but after that it's hourly. Last night we thought we'd go the other way and stretch out the evening so he went to.sleep at 8, went down well but then decided to do the screaming at 12am. I caved and Co slept which got us both about 3.5 hours. However he's been up since 5am and refused to go back to sleep.
Any advice? I'm back at work tomorrow and the lack of sleep is causing me to spend most evenings and mornings just sobbing.
