We had this a little while back. It passed on its own. My LG was waking as if she was a new born all over again. My husband was away at the time too, so don’t know if she was sensitive to the change, but when I posted about it, people said they had also experienced this. Possibly one of those good old ‘regressions’. I didn’t change anything to help it, it just passed on its own. If it’s only been a week, I wouldn’t worry about making any big changes at this point. Tough with a 6 month old though, I feel your pain. This too shall pass. X
@Nicola I'll definitely try 30 mins, he's been waking after 45/50mins into his nap on his own anyways! My partner does help but toddler won't always settle for him and I feel bad as he has work so I usually just get up and sort both boys. He doesn't have a glow in the dark dummy but he never seems to loose it 🤷♀️ always has it in his mouth and cries for me! His rooms always been pitch black, but tonight is the first time trying a night light, so far he's woken up after an hour of sleep 😭😭xx
@Monique I hope this passes! It's just super exhausting! Especially since lioe a month ago he had a stretch of lioe 3 weeks of sleeping through the night and now to go to waking up for hours at a time it's exhausting! And my 6 month old seems to be sleeping better than the toddler, just seems so wrong 😂x
We have the same problem, split nights every single night unless we stay in his room. At the moment he’s in the smallest room in the house so we end up falling asleep in the rocking chair. We’re turning what was my husbands office into a bigger bedroom for him so that we can get him a bed that we can easily and comfortably join him in while he goes through these phases. I just keep telling myself he’ll sleep through eventually but we just have to do whatever makes life easier for us at the moment
Yeah we had this for about 2 weeks, changed nothing and she's back to sleeping fine again now, probably longer stretches as she doesn't nap when she's home (only for nursery) x
So it's still happening girls! I'm absolutely shattered!
@Amy is it you that puts him down to bed? We’re now 2 weeks into my husband putting our son to bed I stead of me and he has completely stopped waking up in the night!
@Amy yes it's me! I've always done it 🤦♀️ my partner puts our 7 month down and I do our toddler, but I'll maybe have to give it ago! He does try and settle him in the night but toddler won't always go back to sleep for him 🤦♀️
Have you tried cutting his nap down to half an hour? My daughter can't have an hour now it takes her too long to go to sleep but half an hour, she's ok and it gets her through the day. Try a few days of 45 mins, then if that doesn't work, trim it again. Do you have a partner that can lay with him if you are dealing with a baby? My daughter also has a dummy for sleep, does he have a glow in the dark one so he can find it? Also do you have a night light? My daughter went through a little phase of being really upset if she woke up but a little light has helped xx
