my 2 year old wont have a nap during the day so is bathed and bed by 6.30 and wakes up around 6.30am this works for a couple of days but then starts waking at 11pm and coming into our bed to sleep.then he will start having a nap in the afternoon for a few days and then not going to sleep till 9pm at night.I would like to get him back in a sleep routine as i have another child on the way which is due in 6 weeks and at the moment i am in a no win situation.

i know the feeling my 16month old daughter is doing exactly the same. what i find worse is you never know what nights they are gonna get up so you end up sitting up wondering each night. My daughter has always slept all night until the past month or so and it is starting to get me down a bit as i am 20 weeks pregnant too, i only know its gonna get worse with a baby too. but no matter how many times i try to get her in a sleeping routine it just doesnt work any more.

hi ive been and spoke to my health vistor and she said if they wont nap during the day just bath and put him to bed before 7pm and he should sleep right thru but if he wakes and comes into our bed at night put him straight back into his bed and stay with him until he goes back to sleep and to keep doing this unil he learns it is badtime and he has to sleep in his own bed. We have been doing this routine for a week now and seems to be working and has only woke up twice during the night and came into ours but we put him back in his bed and he stayed there.Hope this helps you like it is helping us. dawn.:\)
