My 4 year old has been an amazing sleeper from around 10 months - recently... 11-12 hours a night, self settling, and just sitting in bed till we wake up in the morning - an absolute dream! However, since early december he has been suddenly having 3-4 wakings a night.... no reason for it - he just shouts us mainly, we come in, tuck him back up and say goodnight and he goes off again, but sometimes, maybe once or twice a night he just wont settle - he cries but says he doesnt know what he wants. Its been around 7 weeks of this now and its so unlike him!! We have tried everything - night light, door open/door closed, making bedtime more settling but putting a mood light on and reading stories in bed to wind down, and also doing a reward chart - but i just feel like there may be more too it, such a good sleep for 3 years then it all went to this extreme 1 night 7 weeks ago - Any ideas? is it developmental and we just ride it?
Tired Mum!!!
