27 month old weird sleep and behaviour
« on: August 31, 2014, 06:05:03 am »
Hi just after any BTDT really, DS is 27.5 months old and I think is either having some developemental thing going on or sleep needs dropping....or molars or SA or I don't know lol!!

Day was WU 6/6.30
Nap 1-2.30 (capped) at home
BT 7/7.30

The last week or so we've been getting WU anywhere from 4.30-5.30 obv still tired but can't seem to settle back to sleep....speech is great and does really long sentences so wonder if brain on overdrive.
Settles ok for bed but started faffing a bit wanting to be tucked in, then tuck toys in etc but goes to sleep alone after a couple of call backs. He's very attached to me at the min won't let DH do anything and has total meltdown if I don't do whatever it is (although goes off to nursery ok)
Pretty sure all molars are through but chewing like mad again so wonder if teeth are moving about?!
Also think nearly ready for PT as tells me when done a poo and calls wees poo too.

We introduced gro clock again last night and when he woke at 5.15 camped on floor until 6am he didn't go back to sleep but chilled!

Just riding it out really but wondered of anyone had or is having similar issues  ???

My DD1 was bothered by her two year molars on and off for months, so if he has not gotten those it could be a contributor. Otherwise kind of sounds like developmental stuff to ride out - DD1 started random nw's about then as I remember her waking in between her nb sister's feeds! How long has the nap been capped at 1.5 hrs?

Hi thanks for replying. Nap has been capped for about 3/4 months I think, maybe I should reduce it to 1 hour 15 see what happens!?
We've had NW last 3 nights too....2 hours sun night where he was just awake but if I tried to leave him he was hysterical!
Bet that was nice and exhausting for you with a NB  ::)

Oh yeah, those were the days! Hmm yeah might be worth a try to cap a bit further...if nothing else you can rule that out as the issue if it doesn't fly.

Our daycare does that too...had me fill out 7 pages of info on E and then let my lsn baby have two really long naps. I told them I would call them during her nw and ew if they kept it up (lol bonus of a small town life is that I know them all personally!).

Poor guy hope he is feeling better, we all have some nasty end of summer colds here too.

Ugh! I am tempted to make a nice printed sheet of exact instructions and laminate it some days. But then there are days like today where she fell asleep in my lap and was super tired!

Lol good idea!! My little man fell asleep in the car at 10am the other day but then day after it was 2pm before he'd nap.....! Keeps waking in the night but it's every other night bizarrely just a quick lay on the floor and he settles and is staying in bed till sun clock comes ok. Who knows hey  ::)

Yup sometimes we just never know what the issue is! At least he is settling for you.
