Hi all,
Haven't posted for so long, Caspar is now nearly 17 months so this is my first time on a toddler-related board!
For the last month or so, we've been having him wake up literally every night (time always varies but between 12-5am usually) because he has seemingly tried to stand or walk in his sleep. He falls, thwacks his head, and screams for us. We got into a bad habit, ina way, of brining him in with us,where he goes to sleep pretty much straight away. Normally we then put him back in the cot. Thing is, now he starts screaming for us as soon as he wakes up, and won't settle (will scream for 30 mins with no noticeable calming) unless we do.
I'm mad at myself cos we did BW from 12 weeks, he self-settles for all naps and at bedtime, even at nursery he's fine, always has been. But now, this night time thing is a pain. But I've heard LOs can wake a lot for developmental reasons, and he's only been walking since Easter, so quite late. What's the best approach? PD has worked in the past.
His day:
6-7am Wake, 5oz cow's milk
8am Breakfast - home or nursery we keep to same time
11.30-12.30 Lunch
Sleep after lunch, usually 1.5-2.5 hours
4.30-5.30 Tea
6pm Dinner on nursery days (Wed-Fri) depending on hunger
7-8pm Bath, bottle, stories, bed
Any thoughts would be appreciated, might not be able to check again until tomorrow though!
