My 20 month old does not sleep!

[mrstx]

It’s been 5 months and my 20 month will not sleep properly at night and I feel like I’m losing the will to live.

We got referred to a sleep clinic which to be honest hasn’t helped. I have tried EVERYTHING you can think of and she will not sleep and ends up in our bed which is resulting in my husband sleeping downstairs as she screams when he’s in the bed and even when she’s in the bed she wakes up constantly crying.

I’m honestly at my wits end, I’m exhausted and it’s taking its toll on me. I’m desperate for a solution.

Some babies and toddlers are just shit sleepers.
Sorry to be blunt, my 2 year old woke up 3 hours ago and just wants to keep pulling my hair 😟.

He's never slept well. We're waiting to hear back from the paediatrician as we think it's medical. Whatever their response though im tempted to push for melatonin for him because I desperately need sleep and routine. I can't focus anymore.

I take it you've tried white noise, complete darkness(on the other hand try a nightlight), consistent routine, no screen time in the evening, banana/porridge before bed, shortening daytime naps, keeping a food diary... probably a few more I've forgotten
