2 year old waking in the night!

[dabbsy]

Hi, I have had similar problems with my 29 month old girl. She has always slept well in her own room until just before Christmas, when she had a cold, then chicken pox and teething. Now she wakes around 12.30 and screams until we go in, then just wants to talk. If we then leave, she crys and talks to herself for what could be up to 4 or 5 hours, then finally drops back off again. I havent a clue why she wakes, have tried no blackout blind, teddies, heating up, heating down and making sure she is covered over, all of which she has never needed before. Any suggestions? thank you

Oh no, slightly gutted to find your message has gone unanswered as was about to post something really similar and am baffled.

My just three-year-old is waking up about 10.30 - 11pm evey evening, claiming to be scared of the dark and then inventing reasons to need help: need a drink, need a wee, etc. All out of the blue as has been a really good sleeper for ages and nothing's changed around here.

I am almost 7mos pregnant but it's not like it's recent news and she's been really positive so far.

Any bright ideas?

Hi Mum07, I was also considering trying for another baby this year, but this is making me think twice!

I was considering moving her out of the cotbed and into a bed, but fear this could be worse, as she will then be able to get out! Does yours sleep with a night light?

Have spoken to friends and there seem to be no ideas!
