Sleep Deprived Mum - 18 month old Im really at my wits end at the minute regarding my little boys night wakings. He currently wakes approx 3 times a night. Asleep by 8 (easy to go down), wakes at 10, 12 and a later wake up around 3am which can take up to hour and half to get him back to sleep. I have tried tweaking his routine but it really doesnt make a difference. He takes a nap during the day of approx 2 hours and I leave around 5-6 hours activity then before bed-time. My biggest problem is the fact that when he wakes up he is looking for water and if much later on in the morning, milk. Its such a bad habit which Im trying to get out of. There were 4 molars which came up at the same time recently and I understand there is a lot happening at the moment developmentally but I cant keep making excuses for all these wakings. I have started to put the water in the cot with him and teach him that its there if he needs it. Another issue as well is if he drinks too much in the night it requires a nappy change as hell leak.I am due another baby this year and really wonder how Im going to cope if this doesnt ease up. Im so tired at the moment. Anyone in a similar situation. Any tips would be great.
