My 4.5 year old is just a terrible sleeper. She started sleeping through the night for about 2 months and is now back to waking up constantly. 12am almost and I’ve been out of bed 3 times.. going to be a long night 🫣😭

But she has a good routine we’ve always had but girl just won’t sleep 🫣 🤣

Is it possible that she has sleep apnea? How is she when she wakes up in the middle of the night?

I’m sorry! I hope you get it sorted. I put mine to bed fairly late actually. If I put her to bed early, she’s getting up at the asscrack of dawn. She goes to bed anytime between 10pm-12am. Sometimes later! She’ll wake up around 10am.

If you’re a SAHM you can try that maybe? She might be trying to just nap, and not actually do a long nights sleep

Ever since my 2.5yo daughter started climbing out of her crib and we removed the rail she won't sleep through the night. It had been 3 months and we hoped it would be fixed before our newborn got here but she's 2 weeks old and hubby isn't sleeping through the night either because of it

Any medical red flags like reflux, open mouth breathing or snoring, allergies, extreme restlessness while sleeping?

Mine was the same!! She just turned 5! It eventually got better and is more steady now. But we went through exactly that and it was a pattern that repeated for like a year! We were so freaking tired!! I got her calm Mary Ruth chewable for the evenings to try and help her to stay asleep and work on it and it got better.

Thanks ladies!
No, no medical issues we’ve been to the doctor before about her sleep and there’s no issues.
I can’t put her to sleep too late as she is at school so she needs to be up early!
She woke up 3 more times after that for various reasons!! 😂 lots of coffee today!!

My 9 week old sleeps better than my 4.5yo! He’s always been like it 😅

What time does she wake and what time do you put her bed? What about a magnesium supplement ? Xx

I feel iffy about any kind of supplements!
She goes to bed at 6pm (doesn’t go to sleep until 630-45pm as we do stories, teeth etc) and she’s up between 530-6. Which works as school starts early here at 715!

fair enough have a look at mighty kids though they have got really good reviews x
Also if waking up at 5.30/6 and no nap I’d be inclined to put to bed 6pm x could be getting overtired x

yeah it’s a tricky one! Bedtime usually ranges from 6pm-645pm depending how tired she is and how quickly she goes to sleep!
So like tonight she was tired she was in bed and sleeping by 620pm! When she’s back at school she’s in bed at 6pm on the dot usually!
