15 month Old refusing sleep

[Summerkiraa]

My 15 month old has just started refusing sleep/naps & waking up in the night screaming. The only thing that settles him and gets him to sleep is going out for a drive which is not ideal in the middle of the night
Has anyone else experienced this?
We have tried settling him the usual ways but nothing works other than the car, he will just scream and scream

Can you post his full routine?

Whats the routine like?

I feel for you, this is a very difficult age. I've not experienced this exactly, but I did have a 1 year old and a 3 month old, when the elder decided he would not sleep during the day unless I drove him in the car for 20 mins or so. Once he was asleep, I'd carry him in the house and he'd sleep for an hour or two. Your situation sounds far more stressful as it's at night too. But all I can advise is that this phase will pass. They grow and change, it might be in weeks or months but it will pass. Hang in there and do what works for you. If driving in the car gets yours to sleep for a good amount of time then maybe it's worth it? I did it because I just couldn't handle the day if mine didn't nap. 15 months is a 'survival' age for you...just do what you need to do to survive and you'll soon have a 2 year old with completely different 'challenges'. My two still won't go to sleep! 🙄and they're 8 and 10 now....but there's nothing like the stress of a toddler so hang in there! 😀Also, there's nothing more annoying than parents whose babies do sleep, giving advice on something they know nothing about. Only you know what works for you, so don't judge yourself by the opinions of others.

I'm in the same boat, could it possibly be teething related? Ds(15 months) is getting 2 in at once, one at each side which is why he's been waking up crying. It's awful isn't it 😔

Same, albeit the car doesn't work for mine. He'll wake up in the night, fall asleep on me after a bit of cuddling/rocking but if I try to move him back to his cot he wakes up before I've even put him down & makes sure everyone knows it. He used to be a good sleeper I don't know what changed. He is teething though maybe its as PP has suggested. Sorry I can't help but you're not alone!

Dinner bath bed with a bit of play in between

He used to sleep through the night and we’re not doing anything different

I’m 13 weeks pregnant so not sure if he can sense it or if that’s just a silly idea 🙈

Fingers crossed he grows out of it it’s been the past two weeks which feels like forever

No advice here but more solidarity. I came here to start a very similar thread about my 12mo. He's never been a good sleeper but last night was ridiculous and I'm already dreading tonight. He would only sleep with boob in mouth last night, and even then incredibly restlessly. Just couldn't get him in his cot for more than 20 mins. Eventually I rocked him to a deep sleep in a rocking chair at 4am (!) and managed to get him down, but even that only lasted 90 mins or so. It's so physically and emotionally draining! My older DC was also a bad sleeper but a switch suddenly flicked eventually and she became really good. I'm holding out that the same will happen for DS soon, although he's already older than she was when she turned the corner 😬😭
