My DD used to be an ok sleeper but the last few weeks she has been absolutely awful. She's taking an hour to go to bed. She used to go to sleep around 7/7.30pm with no issues and now is constantly getting out of bed, asking for stories/toys/toilet. We take her back but it gets to the point she's screaming and crying. She is definitely tired as she's yawning and almost falling sleep then stops her self with one of these tactics.
During the night she wakes up screaming and takes an age to go back down. She can't tell us what is wrong. Just screams.
She then is waking early around 5/5.30, again screaming. Sometimes we can get her to go back to sleep and other times that's her for the day. But she is so grumpy during the day as she is missing out on so much sleep.
She potty trained during the day at the start of the summer and decided of her own accord to give up her dummies. She hasn't asked for them since. She also hasn't napped since she turned 2. I'm also 17 weeks pregnant and suffering from horrible sickness so the lack of sleep is really impacting me.
