Does anyone else have a toddler who used to sleep through the night but now wakes up literally EVERY night? It is like clockwork, at 1:30 am every single night he wakes up and wants to sleep in my bed. Its not that I mind him coming in my bed, but I would absolutely love to actually sleep through the night. That would be awesome. Am I completely alone in this or is there anyone else??
Andrew wakes up once and a while but hes usually crying. i think its nightmares. sometimes hes up every 1 or so but thats when his asthma is really bad.
Does he wake up all confused or crying? or he just wakes up and wants to lay with you?
My kid isnt as old as yours, but umm...mine has been waking up every single night since he was born.
Well, he slept through the night when he was a month old, for about two months.....then it was alll over. He's over a year old now and still doesnt sleep through the night, everyone said I should go to a doctor about this.
He wakes up screaming and its really hard to get him to calm down.
I dont really have any advice for you, and I really hate to intrude on this post but if anyone has any time, could you tell me if this is ok or if i should bring him in to the docs?
But, I do have SOMETHING to contribute to this post, cuz yay..I know what this is like lol :) it sucks. I cant stand when my kid sleeps in my bed with me, I dont even let my boyfriend sleep in my bed.
He just wants to lay with me, but if I say no, watch out. I think he just doesn't know how to put himself to sleep or something...
cr4zy when he does that is he actually awake, or is he screaming in his sleep?
Cae wakes up at least once a week. I think they just have to grow out of it. Maybe try cosleeping all night?
Although, to be honest. half a night of uninterupted sleep is better to me than an entire night of feet in your ribs or on your face.
yeah. i CANT sleep with my son. he moves way too much. usually if Andrew wakes up for no reason i rub his back a little and try to get him back to sleep. its not very often thank god.
Kayla was doing that, until I started just putting he in my bed with me at the beginning of the night to start with. Since then she hasn't really woken up, except when she is sick.
lex has never slept all night. shes almost 3. i hope it ends soon. good luck mama.
Lyric did that ... ahhh! Sometimes she won't even GO to bed and sometimes will stay up unti 2am, which drives me mad.
I seriously don't know what to tell you because I've tried EVERYTHING ...
my kid doesn't sleep through the night ever either. Everynight he wakes up crying. Some nights he puts himself back to sleep and I don't even need to go in there. But sometimes, he still wants bottles at night. I usually just have to put more cold water in it. Or else I pick him up and sway back and forth for a few minutes with him up on my shoulder.
I try not to let it bother me. I mean, I am the same way. I wake multiple times a night, but I know how to get myself back to sleep. Sometimes my kid just needs help with it. Apperienly I was waking crying until I was 3 when I was a babe, my mom tells me. I remember crawling into bed with her after nightmeres when I was like 6. I think it's just normal for some kids. I don't know if theres really anything that can fix it except more nurturing and time.
skylar are you objective to letting him go to sleep with you from the moment he lays down? would you co sleep with him because you may get more sleep if you just put him in your bed in the first place. I know I sleep with j for a while and he transitions now to a bed in a room by himself but sometimes i still let him sleep with me. when i used to fight him to sleep in his own bed it only made it worse. I would just let him sleep with you untill hes ready to go back to his bed for a full night that is if thats ok w u
emily used to climb in bed with me every night and i just couldnt do it anymore. between her being all over the place and me not getting any sleep at all i was done.
i just would bring him back to bed and just keep bring him back to bed. its what i did. i said i love you each time, rubbed her back, and eventually she stopped waking up.
ooh oohh..If you can I totally recommend going to your local library and seeing if a book titled "Sweet Dreams" is there...u should totally check it out if it is..I'm currently reading it and ..wow..a lot of stuff totally makes sense and u wouldnt believe how commonly overlooked something as silly as tv before bed could actually be bad for youngins....its written by Paul M. Fleiss...hes a pediatrician
Kyla used to sleep through the night until about 2 weeks ago. Then every night at 1:30 am she wakes up and is crying by the monitor for me to come get her. Its actually kinda weird, b/c i live with my parents and my bf works til about 11 so I put her to bed and I go to his house around 1130 for a little bit and leave her with my parents. But as soon as I get home which is usually about 130 or a little after, she wakes up. Its like she knows Im home from his house and wants in bed with me. She never used to do it before but she does now.
Mason wakes up at least once a night and he just turned three.
