We’ve had a bunch of small regressions with my 2 year old. Like a week or two of randomly early wake ups and short or skipped naps, then back to normal for several weeks. Then another week or two of the abnormal crappy sleep. Since she’s not sick I assume it’s just a regression and it goes away eventually. In the meantime... ugh. It’s brutal. Luckily my husband can often get up with her in the morning since he wakes up early anyway and is working from home more. For naps she will often stay in her crib for a while before getting upset so I try to leave here there for at least an hour even if she doesn’t sleep.

We had a bit of a 2 yo sleep regression with DD2.

First, she was waking up at all hours of the night, whining for us. It would turn to a cry. Then a scream. We chalked it up to her being more aware that it was dark, she was alone, mommy and daddy werent there. So - we added a night light...didnt work. We were going in for like two hours on end. Finally we realized she was playing us...so we had to resort to threatening her binky. We assured her that Mommy and Daddy were here, but we were sleeping, like she should be. And since she only gets her binky when she sleeps if she wasnt going to sleep we'd have to take it away...she went back to sleep instantly (hello addiction to binky).

Then - a few weeks later she went through a 5am wake up phase (normal is 630-7am). She has shifted this back to 6am, but I think the sun being up earlier is messing with her. I need to get blackout curtains.

My 20 month old has been going through some kind of regression too! Once she gets to sleep, it’s all fine. But it’s a battle to get her to her crib. Crying and book after book. Clinging when I try to put her in her crib. This is for so and night time. I spend like 30 minutes trying to get her to bed. Today is my due date for #2 so I’m not going to be able to spend so much time at bedtime with her. Ugh. Send help!
