Hi, my ds has been waking every third night since New Year! The timings of the wakings vary between 12.30am and (today) 4am. He is generally a very good sleeper and has just got all of his molars within about a month, but these didn't seem to cause any night time issues! I think his canines are coming through, but if these are the issue, why only wake every third night?
He cries when he first wakes then stands at the end of his cot until someone comes in to him - he only works himself up if he is ignored. It then takes approx two hours to get him back to sleep. I now just sit in his room until he is fast alseep, else we are back to square one!
He can get himself to sleep in the evenings, although recently even that seems to have gone awry, he jumps up and stands until I stay in the room (normally by the door way). Previously he could just be left to settle himself.
He has two naps a day, finishing at roughly 3.30pm, and he goes to bed between 7.30pm and 8pm.
Has anyone come across this erratic behaviour? Any help appreciated - I am spending half my day looking for answers!!!
