Random night wakings for houuurrrsss....


Anyone experienced this. Madi is such a good sleeper, Zach is a bit of a culture shock.

The other night he got up, crying a bit at 12.15... he didnt go back to sleep till 3.30. I have no idea why, i tried everything, he didnt really want to play, just be awake

Then we had a good nights sleep. Then last night woke up again at 4ish and didnt go back to sleep till 5.30. I litrally had to pin him down next to me in my bed till he passed out.

I have awful toothache and i just want a good nights sleep i feel awful. Anyone got any ideas?

A phase? Omar went through those phases after his 1st birthday? Did he learn something new recently?

Maia is doing this right now.

I don't really have any advice as I'm just fumbling through it myself using a soothe and leave kind of approach.

The problem is I've been up and down out of my bed the past two hours, she now seems settled (touch wood) but I'm now wide awake.

I have work in the morning too

I'm hoping it's a phase and one that will pass quickly as I'm exhausted

Megan does that... If she learns new things or if she has too busy of a day she will randomly wake at night and has a very hard time going back to sleep. She just lays in there and talks to herself. If she gets overtired she does this as well.. And then she gets giggly and crazy.

Tom has phases of this too and has done since 9 months old. Doesn't want to play but just can't go back to sleep for up to 3 hrs. Totally knackering for you though - we had a stretch of 6 nights in a row in February and it was like having a newborn again.

I think with Tom its either down to teeth (the last lot was his back molars moving into the gums) or developmental leaps (crawling, walking, big jump in his speech). Could it be either of these for you?

Jacob has been doing this too.. Waking at 1ish and not going back down til 4:30. Hes done it a few other times in his life too, so I was thinking developmental leap.
Hoping our LOs stop soon!

My 2 1/2 year old does it, probably every 5 out of 7 nights. She's been doing it since she was about 6 months old so can't put it down to teething/developmental issues. Tuesday night she was awake for over 4 hours
I think I've narrowed down the cause as her being overtired but trying to get on top of that is a nightmare as she will only nap when she wants to.

Sorry I can't offer any advice as I'm still trying to sort it out myself. I just think I've cracked it and then she has a horrendous week.
But sending to you

JJ also does this. Teeth used to be my main suspect, but now I'm quite certain it's a developmental thing. Last time the night wakings occurred, JJ's vocabulary exploded shortly after, and also it was like I could see him getting taller before my very eyes. Hope it's over soon Hun.

Dillan was doing this a few weeks ago. He wouid wake up at 3am and just stay awake, even though we bring him into our bed he wouldn't go back to sleep untill we thought we would just get him up. And then as if by magic he went back to sleep again. It lasted a few weeks and then he just went back to sttn again.
He started doing it again and then last night he slept through from 8.30- 6.30 in his cot. He never usually stays in his cot past 5am!
I think its just a phase, but we have noticed it usually when he is learning something new.
