Suddenly waking up during the night

My little boy (19 months old) has always been a great sleeper, sleeping 10 hours from 6 months and 12 hours from before the age of 1. But all of a sudden, every night this last week or so, he’s started waking in the night around 12-1am and is really unsettled. Why could this be and how should we tackle it?

18 month sleep regression ours came a few weeks early maybe his is late?

Going through the same and so far it’s lasted 7 weeks and counting!!! Gotten better but wow has been worst regression we’ve been through. She’d 19 months too now. Bless her though she had 4 teeth come through at the same time and is learning so many new words!!! Her brain is in overdrive!

My son is going through the sleep regression too we are 3 weeks in and it’s definitely the worst regression we’ve experienced. Good luck with it! @🩷 Patience 🩷 & @Lana what things have worked to get your little one back to sleep?

Same here 😴 she’s been waking around midnight and saying Mummy on repeat until one of goes in 😥 7 weeks is a long time! Hope you’re all doing okay x

I did a post about this a last week! It’s the 18 month sleep regression, my little boy went from sleeping 12 hours a night to waking and screaming for me constantly. He’s falling back to sleep and the second I take my hands off him or try to leave, he’s straight back up screaming! I feel you mama and you’re not alone! No advice as we’re still going through it and still haven’t figured out how to come out of the other side of it! It’s the worst sleep regression we’ve ever experienced!!!

We’ve got this exact thing, and he won’t settle - he screams the house down and we’ve had to end up bringing him into us for an hour I’m so tired!

@Judy 😭 nothing has worked I’m on a week of no sleeping(and my fiancé) I just said fuck it and co slept last night and she finally slept through the night I’m so tired!

We are going through the same! He was always such a fantastic sleeper. Sleep the whole night through, now it’s tough to get him down at night, almost goes to a hyper stage, and then can wake up between 12-4am, doesn’t go back down and then comes into my bed which then means no sleep for me. As soon as he knows he right by me, he will sleep. I hope this ends soon 😂🤦🏼‍♀️ as much as I love his cuddles, I want my sleep back

It’s so reassuring to know that we aren’t alone with getting no sleep and going through this awful regression 😭 are any of you breastfeeding mums? If you are and are bringing your lo to bed with you how do you do the cosleeping and not breastfeed? I wish I could bring my son to sleep with me but he just constantly asks for boob but I stopped doing night feeds ages ago and don’t want to get back into doing it.

My son woke for a dummy twice last night but stayed in his bed all night… I don’t wanna get too optimistic incase it’s a one off 😂
