No sleep

Oh we are in the same boat. My 16m old just wants to get up and play in the middle of the night. Between that and work and my mom being in the hospital I just need sleep. I wish i had advice, from my teenage kids all I know is that this too shall pass…

Is he able to fall asleep independently? If it’s not a schedule issue, then that’s usually all it takes

How many naps does he take and for how long? When he wakes 3/4am, is he up for the day?

Have you tried to not cap his daytime naps and let him sleep as long as he wants for his naps?

Im in the same boat the last two weeks since i gave birth to my second son. Now my 16 month old wakes every single hour. It’s pretty easy to put him back to sleep with his paci. But i don’t want him to use a paci anymore but it seems impossible to wean him the same way it seems impossible to get him to sleep in his own bed. And he’s been crying so much now, for everything he just screams and cries all day and idk why. It doesn’t help that i have to feed my newborn every 2 hours too, and his crying wakes him up also. And sometimes my newborns crying wakes up my toddler even more now. I have a constant headache due to lack of sleep

I’m in the exact same boat. The only thing that’s really working for less wake ups is his tired tank, lots of laughing and movement and filling his cup up as much as I can 😭 it’s so hard I know, I’m running on empty too.
