2year old wkaing through night
in Sleep
Hi guys,i could really do with your help.I have a 2 and a half year old little girl.She keeps waking up every night at 2am screaming for me.I have tried letting her cry it out but that dont work.Its like she is terrifed of something.She just wants me to sit in her room with her.But she wont go back to sleep she just wants to play,full of energy.The only way she falls asleep is if i take her down stairs or in with me but even then i have to put the tv on and about 2hours later she will doze off.But then still wakes up at 6-7am!!My first thought was it could be her back teeth coming through,so i give her calpol about 10pm but that dont work.Although she is definately teething!!Also im 38weeks pregnant so i dont know if this is something thats affecting her?xx

he gets up from anywhere between 2 and 5,its hard work but we just keep putting him back and again and again,one night it took 2 hours,thankfully we were both off on holiday but he went down and is slowly getting better...i made a comment about a month ago saying how well he was at nights now ans never got up lol shot myself in the foot there
with a baby on the way also chick i would suggest a bit of controled crying even if it takes a week,i wouldnt start going down stairs and putting the tv on,there would be no way lennon would stop getting up an sleep if he knew i would do that for him lol
hopefully it will sort out soon,good luck x
May be nothing like your prob/solution, but thought it may help

My little boy is a terrible sleeper and often wakes up. When I have looked into it, I have seen some articles about night terrors and waking at the same time each night is supposed to be a sign of this. They recommend waking your child up slightly just before this time - maybe 1.45 am - just rouse her slightly and then let her fall back asleep and this is supposed to break the pattern. Dont know if this will be any help but its got to be worth a go? I personally wouldnt try controlled crying if you think something is scaring her. Hope it works out - you need all the rest you can get now! Good luck xx
