My daughter is 2 at the weekend and has recently had a few nights where she wakes at 3-4am and will be awake up to 2+ hours. She wakes and grizzles, I've tried leaving her a few mins but it's never resulted in her going back to sleep by herself, I can tell when she's just getting more unsettled so I I will go in and sit next to her cot, just lay her back down and she will lay there, I think nodding off momentarily at times but not enough for me to leave the room (hard to tell when it's dark and can't see if her eyes are closed). I've tried a few variations of going in , telling her its sleep time and leaving again / parting her to sleep but it just ends up going on twice as long as she stirs again when I stop or leave it seems she literally just needs me in the room to go back to sleep. Last night I just went in, settled her very briefly with hardly any interaction, and sat in the same spot for one hour with until she fell into a deep enough sleep on her own. Does this just sound like another phase? She generally has one 30-40 min nap, I cut it down from one hour when we had several nights of her waking at 4am wide awake and ready to start the day a few months ago, and ever since she's had shorter naps with going to bed between 7-7.30 she has slept really well - these odd times now are not every night, I'd say we've had 4-5 recently but never been two nights in a row. She's had the odd day with no nap but really struggled by 5pm, so I don't think ready to drop it yet, perhaps if it continues we push bedtime back a bit until she drops the nap and then bring it forward again if needed?
