Hi All,
My 14 month old has been an OUTSTANDING sleeper for the first year of his life. We sleep trained him early, and he self settled for every sleep, slept through from 10 weeks. Great day sleeps, generally happy bub.
Since age 1, his sleep has gradually gotten worse and worse. Now, he is 14 months we are dealing with night waking (4:30am) and sometimes refusing his day sleep which he obviously still needs.
When he wakes at night he is not crying, just talking. When I go in after about 5-10 min he is just sitting in the cot looking like he wants to get up. NOT HAPPENING!!!! I lie him down and tell him its sleep time and leave him to it. I would stay in, but if he's not crying then there is clearly nothing much wrong with him. I havnt patted him to sleep or been in his room when he fell asleep for over a year, so if I'm in there its just a sign for him that it must be time to get up.
This morn he took about 45 min to go back to sleep, and then still woke at his usual time of 6 am. Grrrrrr.
Is this a developmental thing?? Teeth? Wouldnt he be crying if it was teeth? Moving out from under blankets and cold??
Just looking for some others who have had this? Why all of a sudden? Driving me nuts.:frustrated::hair:
Cheers,
Kate
