27 Month Night Wakenings
« on: August 20, 2014, 10:30:37 am »
Hi Everyone,

I am wondering if i could ask for some advise.  Our DS2 is now 27 months, v easy going child and all round not a bad sleeper.  However the past few months he is wakening up nightly, multiple times and we dont know why.

His day is :
7am wake up
1.00 nap in buggy - could be for 1-2 hours.  However somedays he refuses to nap.
7.30 bedtime.

If he doesnt nap i bring bedtime forward to 7 etc.  He goes into his cot no bother after a hug and storytime.  Goes to sleep not a peep.  Then could wake from 10 pm onwards and again during the night.  We have gotten into the bad habit of picking him up, offering a sip of water and he goes straight back to sleep. I cannot let him cry, though i always wait for a few mins to see will he settle himself.  Its like he just wants a hug and then hes happy!! He wakes screaming for Mamma Dadda etc and does be sitting up in the cot.

Any advise on tweaks i can do?  He might go for a week and sleep through but more often than not he will wake.

Many thanks for any advise xx

Maybe try bringing bedtime even earlier on no nap days like 6:30? also do you think it could be night terrors? Is he aware when you go in? Could you leave a sippy of water with him so that you dont need to go in if he's truly thirsty?

yeah i might try the sippy water, though hes so used to us handing it to him!! Might be nightmares as does be crying sitting up almost confused.  Just wants comfort i suppose. 

thanks for your reply x

The same thing has been happening with my DS who is about the same age.  He usually has a NW at least once or twice a week and he often settles quickly, but I'm not really sure what it's about.  I've pretty much told myself it's developmental or 2yr molars.

SAme with my 28 month old- he would scream in teh middle of the night- but no night terrors. He wanted the light on and the door open and that seemed to help. he refuses to nap now and I think it is being overtired. No more night wakings with EBT but now he wakes early in the morning! I do not like this time...
