    waking 5+ times a night

    My 19 month old son was a perfect sleeper... Until 3 months ago. Suddenly every night or 2nd night would wake at 11pm or so screaming for at least 2 hours. Would not accept a cuddle would stand in his cot screaming holding his arms up, would carry on in the lounge, even in our bed & would finally pass out from exhaustion 2 hours later. I had also just become pregnant with #3 which his crazy antics coincided with.
    Anyway suddenly 2 weeks ago he is back to "normal"... I did nothing different he just took his dummy peacefully and since then sleeps peacefully once again.

    So I have no answer for you but might just be a crazy stage with no reason like my son. Now DS1 is becoming the crazy one!

    they have spikes in separation anxiety at times. perhaps it's just a stage?
    my daughter's been waking like that for about 10 months now not so much a stage I guess.

    Heaven she has been majorly clingy to me for over a month now which has been nice but so exhausting. Her day sleeps are not the best either anymore, but will still go down for at least 1hr during the day

    milka eeekkkkk i guess i should be thanking my lucky stars that my get ups to DD2 are only quick little ones, and not like your 2hr+ long ones

    MadB 10mths!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how do you manage?
