    For us, that sort of waking for DD is due to an ear infection, I'd get him checked out for that or fluid behind the drum, it can't hurt to see your GP

    Hi Gurb,

    So sorry to hear you are going through this. I don't have much advice (well any really), but still wanted to reply.

    If it were me I would keep up the day sleep - you NEED him to have that for as long as possible. Even if you can't sleep, it's a bit of time with just DD.

    I reckon I wouldn't go to the big bed until it's sorted - whether it passes by itself or whether one of the zillion things you're trying works. Otherwise, the change might just be yet another possible reason for a bad night sleep. Is he old enough to reason with and use it as a kind of bribe - 'when you can sleep in your bed all night we will get you a big boy bed with a truck/digger/thomas doona'?

    Did you already say you've tried a night light???

    Maybe go back to sleeping on a mattress on the floor in his room for a few nights, then gradually wean off it by sleeping in there for a little while before returning to your bed, etc.

    Sorry - no good ideas really. I truly hope it's teeth or something temporary that will pass!

    Good luck xo
