My son turned 2 a week ago and for the last 2-3 weeks his sleep has been terrible. He’s not been a great sleeper since around 7 months old but I’ve worked really hard to ensure he has a very consistent bedtime routine and it really improved a few months ago. However, suddenly about 2-3 weeks ago he started taking 2 hours to fall asleep at bedtime, refused to wear his sleep sack, asking for 3 books before bed and having tantrums. He also developed a weird fear of the bath which he has always loved (although this seems to have got better over the last couple of days). Once he is asleep, he then wakes up a few hours later crying and won’t settle and then ends up being awake 1-2 hours in the middle of the night. Is this the 2 year sleep regression? I am really drained and running on empty from broken sleep and constant tantrums. It’s already been a few weeks and I don’t know how much longer I can deal with this 😩

My little girl has been like this since the end of January but wasn’t very well on and off some weeks so was unsettled on a night and wake up. I’ve tried not to give her a nap during the day now too so she will sleep better too and seems to work have you tired that?
It’s very draining when you just wanna go to sleep yourself 😩
