Any tips on how to help your toddler sleep at night? He’s on a set schedule he just wakes up at 3 in the morning and…

What is your current routine for day naps and for bedtime?

Does bub have any food intolerances or allergies? (Can be a common cause of broken sleep like this)

@amk212, okay no allergies but bedtime at 9am he’s ready to lay down and wakes up 12:30 (I let him sleep that long cause I’m tired from being up all night

7:30 he has dinner

8 he has his bath and get rubbed down with lavender lotion

8:30 is story time

9:00 he’s nodded of to sleep

12midnight he’s waking up and wants to play

Have you got a sleep centre or sleep nurse close by? I wonder if an in clinic stay or a consultant visit may help with getting a different routine?

We've done an in clinic stay at a sleep centre, they help with getting a good routine working for you and your family.

In the meantime would an earlier bed time suit your family?

Could you try dinner 5:30ish, bath 6:15, book 6:40 and bottle (if young enough) just before bed then bed at 7pm?

Up at say 7am (if bub does sleep) then depending on bubs age a nap a morning nap then an afternoon nap and getting bub up no later than 2pm. if bub is older and only needing one day sleep then maybe a sleep at 12ish and sleep till 2pm.

I feel for you, you must all be exhausted.

My youngest daughter still wakes up through the night (she's 3.5yrs) her wake up's are caused by pain, and it's honestly exhausting.

I have no idea about the sleep centre near me part and for him to be up all night makes me exhausted so to try and get him up after getting a nap in is hard for me to wake up as well

@amk212, the earliest I put him to bed the earliest he wakes up I tried to put him to bed at 7:30 and he wakes up at 10 and won’t sleep till 5 or 6 in the morning so his doctor told me try a later time

@kimmommyof2angels , has he had iron levels checked recently? Low iron can cause sleepless nights. X

@amk212, Yes it was checked in April for his 2 year check up and everything was fine
