My LO is a little younger at almost 26 months old. He had a sleep regression a few weeks ago that sounds similar to yours. I was up with him around 5am one morning. We played inside, then went to a coffee shop for chai and a donut, then the playground. He definitely still has sleep regressions into two years old. I'm hoping that it's a learning thing. We're potty training right now, so it could have been that or right before it that caused it.

yup pretty much all of the 2's and into the 3's for both kids when they'd slept through the night before that!

I just co-sleep when my LO wakes up in the middle of the night. So much easier. I figure at some point he's not going to want me there...right???

Since B has moved to a big bed from a crib his sleep has been hit or miss. He's almost 2.5 and he's started having nightmares as well.

My son developed sleep problems at 2 as well. He is just finally happily sleeping on his own at age 5. We're dealing with my daughter's wakeups now. She doesn't cry. She just comes into our bed in the middle of the night. She's pretty stealth - sometimes i don't even realize she's there until the morning.

i dunno about the 2s, but DD is full fledged sleep regression at 21 months. it started when we went camping a month ago and has lasted a full month. up screaming crying and won't go back down. i'm sick this week so i'm really feeling it. i thought it was because she was sick/teething, but i am at a loss for this long of a regression....

@Rainbow Sprinkles: yeah, I feel ya! My bed used to be my sanctuary- now I just try not to get elbowed in the eye my husband has resorted to sleeping in the guest room during the work week since he sleeps horribly with her in bed. I do enjoy cuddling with my daughter but there are nights when I wish i had more space to stretch out.

Us too! I just did what we saw on super nanny...

The first time she came out we say "I love you, time to go to bed" and take her back and tuck her in
Same with the second...
The third was don't say anything just bring her straight back
Say nothing for all subsequent wake ups

It internally look us 3 hours the first night. Then 2 hours. Then 30 mins. The fourth night she just looked at me and said " okay mommy. Goodnight!" And it's been fine ever since fingers crossed

@BandDmommy: same here he takes forever to fall back asleep in our bed and I never sleep well.

Have you been following the same bed time routine as before? Any changes around the house lately? I find that sometimes that could affect how they sleep so I try to enforce a very strict bed time routine with both of my boys no matter who is around or where we are. Brush teeth, shower, book, singing (with my youngest only), kisses, and the same words (night night, I love you, sweet dreams) after they lie down. They have always been great sleepers with some hiccups but nothing drastic. And I almost never let them sleep with us b/c our bed is crowded enough as it is. We went from a King in the states to a Queen in Asia. Hate our bed already so can't imagine having to co-sleep. I'll always be cranky from lack of sleep. I find that any changes with my routine gets called out by my boys... it's kind of funny... and then not when one of them starts to cry. Wish I could be more helpful... I might just have good sleepers? Hope it gets better for you guys soon!

@luckypenny: ugh, i'm so glad i reread this old thread because my kid is losing it on all ends: potty, sleep, etc. i realized we needed to buckle down and stick to a plan like we did when we sleep trained! she's so much more fiesty this time.
