My 19 month old hardly sleeps. help!!!

[danielsk300]

Hello all. My 19 month old son hardly ever sleep. I rang my health visitor and she told me to do the controled crying,which is not working. He usually wakes up between 3-4 times a night. He is wide awake between 4-5 every morning and will not go back to sleep. I am having to go to bed and 7 just so i can get some sleep before he wakes up. Please help

Does he nap in the day? Does he settle himslf at bedtime or need you there? Does he have a dummy? How long has he been like this? Just trying to work out the problem, soory for all the questions!

my son wont sleep he is 19 months and i have tried everything i can think controled crying is usless he makes him self sick. he crys for a bottle and its getting really hard now. i am trying lavender oil 2 nite so hopefully that will help but doubt it nothin seems 2 work any advice post it thanx x

My 20 mth DD is the same! She has one sleep in the day after lunch. Settles perfectly well at bedtime - straight to sleep with a little music. Normally wakes at 5am and then screams to be downstairs, downstairs... Tried controlled crying in morning but that doesn't work. In the end go downstairs and give her a bottle and then she will fall asleep on sofa normally till about 7.00/7.30am. Lately is waking at 4am and will not settle back down for at least an hour. Then back to sleep till 7am... wish I could just stop the middle night/early morning wake-up call... Any advice..? Off to see HV next week so perhaps she will have some miracle cure
