One year sleep please help me

[yvonneb13]

Hi everyone sleep question one year old has never been a great sleeper but it’s got worse since Turing one 2 weeks ago like worse than newborn stage bad I’m
Finding myself getting frustrated and I’m trying not too so he’s been getting up round 9 naps about 11-30/12 for half an hour and then have an hour and a half nap in he afternoon say 3.30/5 and naps
He goes down fine but at night he is absolute
Nightmare screaming shouting
Crying throwing himself about I’m
Just at the end off my tether it’s not 10 to 11
And that’s him
Just falling asleep after 3 hours of absolute hell. Pass
Me the wine!!😂 has anyone got any advice?

Hey, I’ve got no advice really - I am in a similar position! Currently holding her asleep as she’s been on/off crying since 4am.
My one year olds sleep has gone crazy in last few weeks… she turned one beginning of Feb. Never been a great sleeper but getting to sleep and staying asleep for even an hour has become hard work! I think some of it is teething and some of it is developmental (trying to walk at the moment).
My trying to support her to sleep as much as she can through the night. Lots of rocking, feeding and holding going on! Luckily DP is helping too and will do a couple of hours in the night so I can get some proper sleep.
It’s exhausting and hard work! I just wanted to say you’re not alone and I hope things improve soon for you 🤞🏼

That seems like a very long late nap to me. Their main nap should be the lunch one, with maybe a very short extra one to tide them over until bed.

How do I switch them round lol

Way too late a nap.

Put down for a nap around lunchtime, let him go 2 hours and it will probably be very different.

I'd lobe that but he always always wakes 30/40 minutes

so tiring
Isn't it he's the same he's soooo close to walking hopefully passes
Soon for us both xx

That's the length of one sleep cycle, and it can take some babies longer to learn how to link them.

If you know he always wakes at 35 minutes, go in and sit next to him at 30 minutes. As soon as he starts stirring, resettle him. You can even slightly jostle him before the 35 minute mark and it can be easier to resettle before they wake fully. Shush, pat, sing, put the dummy back in if he has one. If you can time it right the next sleep cycle will start and then he'll have a nice long nap. And soon enough you won't need to do this and he'll link the cycles himself

I'd try and wake him earlier. 6:30am/7am? 9am is really late for a little one to wake! It could be that all of his naps are too late, meaning he's not long woke when you try and put him down at night, and he has too much energy around bed time.
Try a morning nap around 10am (1 hour), and another nap after lunch around 2pm (1-1.5 hours ish) Move everything earlier and then he will probably be more ready for an earlier bedtime.
Wake windows should be around 3 hours, and the last one around 4 hours so bedtime around 7:30.
Little ones sleep schedules are hard. I learned the hard way, so feel your pain. But stick at it! Try a new schedule but stick at its for 10-15 days to see if it works for him. Good luck

When my two hit 1 years old morning and afternoon timings for naps where scrapped and the only nap they got was at lunch time after they'd had lunch- so around 12:30, wake up at 2pm. Put to bed at 7:30 and slept through until 5:30-6am.
