Mine does this if he goes to bed too late, since moving his bedtime to 6pm and cutting his naps he now sleeps through
@Freya really? I would of thought an earlier bed time would be he would be awake earlier
@Leanne thank you, I will look into that because he does get low iron and aw I feel you, I struggled a lot being pregnant and still haven’t to get up in the night with me eldest xxxx
Yep, the later mine go to bed the earlier they wake up and they tend to wake up a lot in the night too. If I put them to bed early they sleep perfectly. Overtiredness for mine ruins their sleep
@Freya thank you, I’ll try that tonight to see if that helps!
I know it's super hard. My son has low iron and has always had low sleep needs. If he goes to bed before 8pm he will be up like early hours of the morning. He only ever sleeps around 8 hours at night. We've tried everything too! No naps, longer naps, shorter naps, 6pm bedtimes!! It's draining 🥺 but it's not forever. It will pass. I always joke I'll sleep when he's 18 🙈 xxxxxx
If he's over tired will sleep poorly at night. My son keeps waking up at night if during the day miss his nap. Also if he goes to bed too late wakes up early. We go around 7.30/8.30 and he wakes around 7am, rarely 6.30. if he miss the nap can wake up even 2 times during the night
Have you tried an earlier bedtime? We've always found putting our LO to bed later means an earlier wake up. A banana before bed is supposed to be really good before bed
Magnesium and iron deficiencies can be a cause for poor sleep in children. My son is unfortunately the same. I'm 35 weeks pregnant too so I just want to send a big hug mama. I know it's really hard. If you're really worried you can call the doctor and say you're worried there's a deficiency. Wishing you all the best ❤️ xxxx
