2 year old used to eat and sleep well

Since my little boy turned 2 he has become really fussy with his eating and his sleeping has got worse. He used to sleep through on a night and was fine being left whilst going to bed etc. He used to eat pretty much anything, now he'll only eat the same few foods. I'm worried he's losing weight. Is anyone else experiencing this? Please tell me it's just a phase 😖

It’s just a phase. There another sleep regression at 2 years old. And fussiness with eating is also really common when they hit 2s as well. Both will pass, he’ll make up for the lack of eating when he’s ready. It’s hard not to stress I know, but both will pass!

@Rachael Thank you! I really needed to hear this ❤

I’m going through the same, my little girl used to eat everything in sight and sleep all night but now she wakes up crying through the night and hardly eats her meals and it’s so hard to get her to sleep at night

@Shannon Same with my little boy! He used to be happy going to bed, we'd say night and close the door. Now he just seems upset that we're leaving him and we have to wait till he's asleep, otherwise he's hysterical. He wakes up in the night now calling us and crying and he's up at 5am rather than 7am. Food wise he just says I don't like it to almost everything 😕

We’re still going through the 2 year sleep regression. He woke up at 4:30 this morning and wanted to stay awake for an hour then went back to sleep and I struggled to wake him up at 8am.

@Dominique Do you keep him in his own bed when he wakes that early? We've had a couple weeks of bad sleep but last night he slept till 6.10 🥳

If my husband is home he’ll go to him and soothe him so he stays in his bed. But my husband leaves for work at 4:30am so anytime after that it’s a mix of I either go to him or he jumps into my bed! X
