Hoping I’m not alone in my tiredness! My 15 (nearly 16 month) year old still wake around 3 to 4 times each night. It has become almost the same time now each night at 11pm, 1am, 3am and then varies from 6am - 7am wake up. His normal routine is first nap around 11am for 2 hours then bed at 7/7:30pm. We do rock to sleep after feeding milk. When we woke in the night we have weaning off giving him milk but now he just wakes for cuddles and rocking each time. Anyone experiencing the same? I really don’t want to do sleep training but not sure what I need to change! X

Honestly sleep training worked a treat for me!
But maybe his nap is too early of hes nit getting enough day time sleep!
I find if my boy doesnt sleep much in the day regardless of the fact I sleep trained i get multiple wake ups.
Last 3 nights he has slept from 7pm till at least 5am x

I’m with you. Usually 2-4 wakes at almost 17 months

My daughter is 20 months. We're still getting wake ups. We really don't want to sleep train either. We've resorted to having a mattress on her nursery floor and at first wake up one of us goes in and brings her down onto the mattress and spends the rest of the night there. She sleeps much better down on the mattress with way fewer wakes. Most of the time she might go through then until morning. First wake up can be anywhere between 9:30 and 5:30am. We've tried all sorts with naps and day sleep and different bedtime routines and blackout blinds etc etc and nothing works. So we've just accepted that she needs us for a bit longer.

My little boy was the same, till he was 14months when resorted to sleep training. Not cry it out but when putting him to bed, instead of rocking him or feeding him to sleep, we'd continuously lay him down every time he stood up. No verbal interaction. The first time it took me 45 minutes before he finally gave up and went to sleep. This time gradually decreased. The advice was if he was getting really upset to give him a quick cuddle then contiue with laying him down. One lady said to cuddle him in the cot, another said you could pick him up. It's up to you I guess. It's just to help calm him. Gradually it went from this to us stroking him to sleep, since he'd learnt to lay down, then just sitting in the room and sneaking out. And within 2 weeks of the starting point, we could just lay him down, walk out the room and he'd go to straight to sleep independently. This was the same routine whenever he woke in the night and within the 2 weeks he went from waking 3 times a night to sleeping through xx
