Hi there,
My 2 years old boy has been waking up almost every night since October ( 5 months!) and I don’t know exactly what is the best to do. There isn't apparently anything wrong. When he walks up, I wait to see if he would calm down on his own, this very rarely happens to be honest. So after a few minutes I go in, and he automatically stop crying, I always say the same to him “It’s time to sleep” I tuck him in and I leave the room. This process takes me a minute or two and he goes back to sleep. He wakes up usually at around 11pm or at 4am but now he has being waking up at around 11pm , 4am and 6am when he used to wake up after 7am.
In December we went away to South America, and I thought, well, with the time difference I’m sure we will break the habit, which he did the first few days, but then he started to wake up again.
He has good naps usually he naps for 1 ½ and goes easily to sleep at bedtime.
Our routine looks like this:
7ish wake
12.30/1 nap
7.30 bedtime (11ish pm NW and 3 or 4am NW)
Just wondering whats going on?
I make sure he is not hungry or cold in his room. I don't know what is causing the waking up and what to do to get him to sleep through, we are exhausted as he wakes up almost everyday
Many thanks ladies xxx
