Change to sleep patterns.
Hi ladies,
Am after some advice/support/reassurance really! My 2 year old usually sleeps really well - on average 10-12 hours a night. He has now made the transition to first size bed (although that was tricky at first), but has taken to waking up between 2-3am and being completely awake. He wouldn't resettle by himself last night so I brought him in with us & he laid there for a bit, but really wanted to play. I then put him back into his own room after a while (about 3 hours of trying to get him back to sleep)& he eventually dozed until nearer 9.
My question really is what could be causing the waking? Could it be a growth spurt? He has done this a fair few times now - thankfully not on too frequent a basis, but I am just unsure what could be causing it & therefore what could be the best way of dealing with it.
Just wondered if any of you had experienced similar issues? thankfully I wasn't in work today so I could also go back to sleep until he then woke up again. Am rubbish if I don't get a decent night's kip. I'm pregnant again & find it hard enough to sleep properly as it is!
Thank you,
Dx
