Please can anyone give some help/advice, Iām at my wits end!
Our 2.5 year old has never been an amazing sleeper however he did get to a point where he was sleeping through consistently so we thought we were sorted, he then hit about 2 years old and suddenly started waking numerous times a night!
itās just quick wake ups where he canāt find his teddy/wants tucking in/asks for a drink etc but itās numerous times a night! We usually give him what he wants quickly and in silence and then leave the room and he goes straight back to sleeep but an hour later heās shouting again!
This has continued night after night, we are now having a mare with bedtime on top of this! For his whole life bedtime has been 7:30pm, same routine same time and up until recently heās gone to bed without an issue, however now he is absolutely messing about every single night. He will run about, jump on his bed, throw his toys at the door, continuously run out of his room into our room etc. we do the whole walking back to bed in silence no eye contact etc but every night this goes on for a good hour or so.
basically a super long post but had to explain!
nap wise he still has around 30 minutes purely because he needs it, we donāt force it or anything, he will just fall asleep sitting upright/in the car/pushchair etc sometimes around lunchtime sometimes as late as 2pm but he definately cannot make it until bedtime without a nap just yet. We do tend to cap it to about 30 mins tops!
anyway rant over, someone please help šš
