Has he just started nursery ? Has something changed his day time routine perhaps? Xxx

@Emma you didn't read it properly. She said he is waking up at 11pm, not 11am.

Hiya, I honestly don’t have an answer for you but I wanted to give my experience.
My boy will be two next month and for the first 16 months I’m telling, he woke up in the night every 10-15 minutes. His morning time would be 4-5 am.
I spoke to every doctor, paediatrician, health visitor absolutely no one could provide a solution.
It made me quiet unwell, mentally. It was hell and I felt so very alone.
He got a lot better once he turned one, I also moved him into his own toddler bed around 15 months too.
Unfortunately, nothing I did helped or even made the slightest difference.
It affected me and my journey of mother hood but it does improve.
I know it’s not what you want to hear because when I was in that position and everyone told me it gets better. That means absolutely nothing and feels a bit back handed, but from one mum that really struggled to another you’re doing a good job, it’s not you, sometimes little boys just don’t sleep :))

rn he still sleeps in his own bed in our room because we’re trying to figure out why his room gets so cold at night, it’s the only room that does

@Emma nowhere in the post does she say they are waking up for the day at 11 am. She said she is putting him to sleep between 8-9pm and then he is waking up between 10:45-11:20PM & not going back to sleep until his nap at 1 pm the next day! So he is having 2-3 hours of sleep at night & that is it.

Oof this sounds super tough 😫 has his sleep always been like this or is it a recent thing? X
