Split nights - what are your schedules for good overnight sleep

Hey, I think it's a sleep regression because mine was going through the same thing waking up for 1-2 hours around midnight, and it was exhausting, he's also been ill and I think he's teething so it's a mixture of things, I remember going through this with my first child too.

Definitely don't just stay in and feel trapped. Do what you need to do.

Ours lasted about a week, and we haven't done anything differently. He has a 1.5 hour nap around 10.30-11am and then another 30 minute nap around 3-3.30pm and bedtime is 7.30-8pm he's now back to sleeping 11-12 hours at night, he sleeps in his cot until around 1am then we co-sleep for the rest of the night.

It will get better, and it will pass, I know it's hard, but definitely don't feel trapped and go out if you want/need to it's just another difficult phase that will get better 😊

Hey, we’re in a very similar situation. My son used to be such an amazing sleeper, but all gone out the window since he’s started nursery.

He wakes 1 or 2 times in the night then I get him in bed with me to get better sleep.

We are in a funny stage of some days he’s on one daytime nap and other days he still has two. It’s all very unpredictable atm.

Hey, my little one gets up at 7.30 /8 ish and naps at 12 for 1.5/2.5 hours rhen goes to bed at 7.30. if his nap is short (less yhan 1hour) he has a short 30 minutes again at 3.30-4 and goes to bed at 8. If his morning wake up falls earlier or we have a shit night, he sleeps at 11.30 rather than 12. We find if he gets overtired, especially if the morning nap is more than 4 hours from morning wake up! Then hes awake every hour or 2 through the night... Its awful!
