2 years 10 month old boy not sleeping well

My toddler has always been a tricky sleeper but we got to a stage when he was sleeping overnight and having a good hour nap during the day, it was bliss he was happy engaged and generally delightful. However over the last 3 months he's stopped napping and waking 4 to 5 times overnight, I know this is still better than a lot of other children but he's now very unhappy, his eyes don't sparkle and he's having tiered child meltdowns. I'm not sure what to do, he point blank refuses to nap and he wakes at night because he needs to wee or he's having nightmares. Nothing else has changed in the household. Any advice would be great or anyone else going through the same thing? I just want my happy boy back!

Following as my little boy is the exact same! He used to go through the night but now it's multiple wake ups 😑

I’m glad I’m not the only one, except my son loves a nap (currently trying to drag him up from it now) but doesn’t sleep well at night. I’ve tried moving it earlier, later, longer, shorter, cutting it out but it makes him worse 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Louise same here! My son needs his nap still otherwise he becomes a tired mess very quickly because of the disturbed sleep at night. Nothing seems to make a difference. I've started tracking with the Hucklberry app again just to see if there is a distinct pattern that I am missing

We have the same, slept perfectly through the night and then this! It lasted 3 weeks and now he's nearly back to normal so hopefully just another phase!

@Camilla exactly the same. Ppl say oh he’ll b so tired if u cut the nap n he’ll sleep but it doesn’t work. Been happening on n off for 6mo now n doesn’t help he’s had s sibling born in that time x
