Sleep help

Does anyone else’s 2yo struggling to settle themselves? My toddler doesn’t seem to ever want to sleep or nap at the moment. And she has started relying on a bottle to self soothe again, even waking in the night for one. I’m starting to feel drained and it puts me off having another child 😅 I’ve tried everything from adjusting naps, bedtime, I’ve tried staying with her to settle her but nothing works 😩

Sounds like a sleep regression! Fingers crossed it doesn't last long 😊

It’s likely a sleep regression. They go through a big one around 2 unfortunately. With the milk through the night, I’d stop giving it. It’s about breaking that cycle so I’d offer some water instead. You’ll find she’ll refuse and just not want it or get bored of the water. Might take a couple of nights but worth it. We’re still in the middle of a sleep regression and I’m pregnant so extra exhausted. I was giving in and letting her sleep with us but I’ve been strict the past few nights and I’m hoping that’s us starting to come out the other side x

Yes😅😂 absolutely refuses to sleep at any time of the day or night. Yesterday skipped his nap because he didn’t want one and then went to bed at 6pm, woke up 40 minutes later and stayed awake until 1am absolutely fighting me on going to sleep 😭. It’s like that almost every night so I feel you, it’s so hard. I used to be able to at least be with him and he’d go to sleep but now he doesn’t care if I’m with him or not he’ll still get up and do anything other than sleeping
