Hi, my name is Alicia and I am the mom of 2 wonderful girls. My oldest is 3 1/2 and has been having some sleep issues for the last 6 months or so. Up until then she was a fabulous sleeper. She always goes to bed at 8am sharp and has the same bedtime routine. It has changed slightly through the years to include potty time and books but basically the same. She is great about staying in bed too. Our issue is her waking in the night. There are some nights she sleeps straight through 8pm-8am and others when she gets up 2-3 times screaming for us. Usually it is for some silly reason like she can't find her stuffed animal or she wants to color(at 3am ?). It is really getting frustrating for my husband and I to deal with. We feel like we have a newborn again. I can't find any links between bad or good nights and I'm not sure what to do about it. Does anyone have any ideas?
