Until 6 weeks ago my almost 3 year old was a great sleeper, regularly going from 7 until 7. For last few weeks he is waking up 6 to 7 times in the night and it is killing me as have an 18 month old too and a stressful job 3 days a week. It all started with a holiday and bad eczema disrupting his sleep but now we are home, his skin is better but he seems to be in the habit of waking up every two hours. Any advice? It is making life really miserable for me and his Dad and I am thinking can't be good for him. He doesn't sleep in the day and seems tired at bedtime.....help.

not had this but have the 'mare of eczema. would it be possible to make a bed in his room and pat him down/reassure him verbally that you are there before he wakes up fully? Each of you doing half the night?

working on sleep begets sleep, maybe get him to take a daytime nap whichever way you can (a drive?) as a one off so that he can have a more restful sleep later?
