my lo is 2.7 and generally sleeps ok- you know theusual run of good nights and then a disturbed night etc however for the past 5 nights he is waking every hour saying he wants to eat or its dark or he wants to go down or calling his papa or his brother sometimes fully awake sometimes asleep and then also crying which seemingly when he is asleep and then to cap the night off waking at 4-5 and DEFINATELY being awake demanding to go downstairs. i have stopped his afternoon nap this past week as his stepbrother is here for the week and they have been playing and doing activities and also doing his scalp massage every evening and he actually falls asleep in instant no problems ther but from 11-12 onwards the problems begin please help me cos i am exhausted and i don't really want to resort to meds [for him] i must add he seems ok in the day and he does'nt seem to feel like he needs to sleep
