Please help guys I am at my wits end!
so our 2 year old has slept through since maybe 9 months old, recently he learned how to climb out of his cot and one morning we heard a massive thud as he climbed over and landed… anyway this then prompted us to put him into a single bed (we had already purchased ready to transition at some point).
The first couple of nights were rough, refused to go to bed, up and down all night but we expected this. On the 3rd night he went to bed with no issues and slept right through! This continued for a week or so, then suddenly it started again :(
it started as one or two night wakings where he would shout for us and just need tucking back in, it’s now every hour!!!!!
when we go to him he is asking for things like a toy, a drink, a cuddle, his blanket. We make sure he has his favourite toy and his blanket in the bed with him but it’s almost like he just wants us to find them for him, he has a cup down by his bed that he can help himself to but he then wants us to pass to him. Every night waking is quick, we go in give him what it is he wants and he goes straight back to sleep, until the next hour when he does it again!!
he has a stair gate on his door so sometimes he gets out of bed and stands at it shouting until we go and pop him back into bed again.
any advice on how to stop this because between myself and my husband we are exhausted!!!!
at the minute I think he is trying to drop his nap, sometimes he has 40 mins - 1 hour, other times he’s not bothered and goes all day without
he goes to bed around 7pm and goes to sleep really easily. The night wakings start around 11/12pm and are pretty much every hour until the morning :(
