Moms of 2-3 year olds who fall asleep on their own, how long after putting them down does it take for them to fall asleep? Also, do they wake up throughout the night?

@mamibear , does she wake throughout the night?

@_sheriee only when she is sick. She'll wake up for a lil and cry but she is the type of child who hate naps and bedtime so it might be easier on you.. im considering asking her doctor if i can give her melatonin at night to help her sleep more peacefully

@mamibear , I'm considering the same. Takes us a minimum of an hour for nap or bedtime even if she's drained and she wakes 1-2 times a night. She doesnt cry, just wakes up having a full blown conversation.

Mine has been doing the same, and also takes at least an hour to go to sleep. I had to put a lock on her door for at night because she'd wake up and roam the house and get into stuff, and also it scared me that she'd unlock and get out the door. She'll play for 2-3 hrs sometimes. Plus she wakes up at night sometimes, and she wakes up early in the mornings at that. Ik what you're going through. Glad to know I'm not alone with this. It's rough and makes me even more moody... Ugh I hope this phase passes SOON! our daughter will be 3 March 18th.

Also I do occasionally give her grape flavored melatonin chewables too.

But I've noticed she still will wake up during the night with them, as if they ware off or something...

They just put her to sleep earlier and faster is all

@shannonmallory93 , our girls have the same birthday lol. But yeah, it worries me. She always looks tired and she has issues with growth so I'm sure she needs sleep.

@_sheriee mine is picky so she don't grow much either, and that's crazy, then they're the exact same age lol, my birthday is March 22nd, and my dads is March 5th lol my daughter woke me up at 5:30am ugh

@shannonmallory93 , mine eats like a horse but doesn't grow. How much does yours weigh?

@_sheriee I'm not sure she hasn't been weighed in a Lil while, i'm guessing about 25lbs maybe a Lil more.
