For a couple months now my 3 yo daughter has been periodically waking between 3 and 3:30 am and not going back to sleep. It happens every 1-2 weeks and doesn’t seem to correlate with no nap or nap during the day. She has tummy troubles sometimes but she’s not showing any signs of discomfort, I think she’s just scared. Tonight she asked me what that black thing was in her room, but when I picked her up and asked her to show me, she couldn’t point it out. She also asked me to close her door so nothing could get in. We have a night light. What else can I do? I’ve told her we have an alarm in the house and nothing bad can get in. I’ve also told her her stuffed animals will protect her. She just wants to sit in my lap or wake up. When she’s in my lap in the rocker she falls asleep but wakes when I try to put her back in her crib.
Thanks!
