Night waking at 18 months. Any ideas welcome.

i reckon that he just hasnt learnt to settle himself to sleep- sleep that next sleep cycle
my DS2 still wakes at least 4-5 times a night and he is 18 months
his brother and sister were 3 years old before they could!!
its only a problem if it is a problem for you
he will eventually learn- it is up to you if you employ a method to help him learn or just let him learn by himself
no easy answer- if there was, then we would all lose the lovely luggage we carry around under our eyes !! LOL

Are you sure it's not the teething causing it? My DS has never been a great night sleeper, but about 4 months ago he started regularly sleeping through. Then after a couple of months, he was back to waking up. He didn't seem to be in pain or anyhting, and would usually go back to sleep when I went in and tucked him in, but I did have to go in. It only lasted about 3 weeks or so, and what do you know - a few days after he started sleeping again, his last eye tooth came through. Just a thought.
