2 yr old started wakening in the night after sleeping through from an early age - shock!

Says it all really.
Ds shouting at around 2 am "Want out now! Want out now"
If we ignore him, he settles again, but it is becoming a habit.
Any suggestions what might be wrong?

I reckon it's a phase that will pass. Is he dropping his nap, could be connected to that?

He IS dropping his nap! (His choice - god, i miss that hour!)
I'd wondered about that actually.
jane, you are clearly a woman who knows a lot about small children as well as cakes,lol.

We are hoping it passes...

is it happening at the same time each night?

Could it be when the sun is rising and maybe disturbing him?

Tis still dark. Usually 2 am on the dot.
