Please tell me it's a phase, I'm at my wits end. It's not nightmares, he just wakes and comes and wakes me up...his leg is itchy, he's hot, he's thirsty (there's water on his bedside table). Every single night this last week....any time between 1 and 4am. I am so tired!!!!
My 9 month old has been sleeping through so these wake ups are a shock to the system. I cant go back to sleep afterwards so spend 2 hors staring at the ceiling and being in a foul mood the next day. Please please tell me this is a phase. I don't know what else to do. Coaxing, yelling, I've done it all at 3am.......gahhh!!!!!!!! |

Yep mine does too.
Since he was born there have only been a minimal amount of nights he's actually slept all the way through. |

I used to think "perhaps DD2 will start sleeping through when she turns 4". Well guess what, she's already turned 4.... Gah. That said, she did sleep through one night this week. I FELT FANTASTIC. |

Yes!
My four year old wanders in 6/7 nights. Thankfully my 7 year old started sleeping through this year and my baby does too. I never go to bed expecting a full nights sleep that way I am not disappointed Bron |

Sorry OP I have no brilliant suggestions for you as my miss 4 wakes up most (make that every) night and comes in to wake me - not dad, just me. Sometimes it is a nightmare but most times it's something really silly (to me anyway especially at 1am, 2am, 3am) like my fan is making a noise or I want a drink or my leg is itchy.
It's been happening for about 8 months so I think if it is a phase it is a really really long one. I have set up a blanket on the floor beside my bed and make her sleep on that when she won't go back to her bed. I find this is easier than having an arguement and getting frustrated in the early hours of the morning. It also helps me get back to sleep quicker as usually I am awake for about 2-3 hours depending on what hour she wakes me up. I'm hoping that next year will be better as she is starting school and I HOPE that will tire her out and get her sleeping better. My miss 2 is the great at sleeping - goes to bed at 7 ish and wakes up around 6.30am the next day with barely a peep overnight. If you find something that works please share as I have tried rewards charts, special goals, removing favourite toys/activities, threats, tears from me and nothing has worked. |

Mine did, and even into age 5 and 6 - school didnt healp if he got overtired it would get worse as he would wake up with bad dreams or just not being able to settle again. It is hard, have found keeping calm is the best for longer term sleep - just so hard at 1 am
