Toddler waking up and won’t go back to sleep

So maybe that night was him building up to that…

When ours were younger we found ‘The Wonder Weeks’ (book) really helpful for understanding when to expect various developmental stages. It helps to know what’s around the corner and to know that these changes in behaviour are normal (and often surprisingly predictable).

Say what, now? How old? At that age both are more than capable of sorting out their own travel arrangements, without relying on parents.

And they both could , but then I become an irrelevance. I’m moaning but if i didn’t want to do it, I wouldn’t….don’t make me feel bad about my last bit of usefulness 🙁

This – go in, don’t speak, put him back in his bed, walk out. Repeat.

Yeah, that didn’t work for us. We tried everything we could think of but eventually she just started sleeping through again of her own volition. Until the next phase…
