2 year old wont sleep at night...Please help...Im going crazy!
My (almost) 2 year old DS wont sleep at night. It's been going on for about 7 weeks now. He goes to bed without a problem, sleeps for about 3 or 4 hours then around 11pm, he wakes up and wont go back to sleep. He screams bloody murder until i give up, go in and get him and put him into my bed. Then he's fine! As soon as i walk in, he's fine.
I've tried settling him and talking to him eg. "You need to sleep in Toby's bed, like a big boy" He has a night light, he's not cold, i've given him panadol. Nothing helps. Once he's in my bed, he lays there and talks or plays with his teddy. Then, at 5am, he's ready to get up and start the day!
Im sure im not the only one who has been through this. What did you guys do? I really need some advice because i've just about had enough. 7 weeks of 3 hours sleep or less starts to make you go crazy!
NO! It's the perfect time for him to go!
What about if you hopped in with him for awhile? But only if he goes stright back to sleep. If not, you leave.
My DD (17 months) is starting to do something a little similar. We are moving house this week and she will be moving out of the cot into a big bed. I don't know if your child is in a cot or a big bed, but that might make a difference. I'll let you know if it makes a difference with my DD if you like.
Danni- I was thinking that too...We moved house 2 weeks ago, this began 4 weeks prior though. Granted, it is a big move for him, we were living with my mum and step-dad and now it is just us two
So Lulu you think 7pm is still an ok time for him?
my little 2 yo goes to bed at 8 8:30 and she talks and reads to herself in the dark till 9 then is asleep and stays in till 5 most mornings and needs re settling but by 7 she is up and ready for the day.
she was getting very unsettled in her cot and would wake lots as she felt all restricted and that but in big bed she is much better.
