My son has recently turned 1, since then we have had the WORST sleep he's never slept through the night but since his birthday it seems the nights are getting worse and worse! We can be up 2/3 times a night for over a hour! He will go to sleep fine himself at 7 pm sleep till 11 and from then it seems he just can't stay asleep? He has 1 nap a day as isn't a good napper and 1 nap just seems to work best for us. He's drinking a lot more milk on a night time but just doesn't seem to be full could this be a growth spurt? Sleep regression? Any one else been through this?! Thank you!!

My LO has had spurts of just being awake in the night for about 2 hours. It was a nightmare… we’d sing, rock, breastfeed, even take out for a walk in the pram at 2am! Nothing would get her back to sleep. She was older then yours though… about 18 months maybe. I read split nights were over or under tired but to be honest nothing helped… more sleep in the day or less.
she doesn’t do it so much in the night now… I was still breastfeeding at night at the time but now she’s fully weaned off breast milk. She does generally sleep a lot better but still has a few wake ups. If it’s for long periods it’s usually down to teething pains or illness. She’s 20 months now. I honestly don’t have much advice other than it will pass… get help. Do you have a partner who can help on the night? Or any help in the day for you to get some sleep? Can you rest when he naps?
Its tough but honestly these things do pass, good luck x

If you don’t already offer supper. Porridge or some thing with peanut butter.

How much does he eat during the day?

Any other changes like starting nursery?
