Tips to get 3yr old sleeping through night again!
My son slept through the night mostly until about two weeks ago. We had another baby 6 weeks ago and then he stopped wearing his swaddle blanket to bed (he just always liked it) so now he’s started a new habit in his biological clock to wake up between 3-5am every single day. Last night he got up at 11pm and then 2am. My husband goes to work at 3:30am so I’m usually trying to figure out how to get the baby back down and then the toddler, and then by the time I’m done with him the baby is back up so I start my day at 3am lol he says he’s not hot or cold but he hasn’t mastered how to pull the cover on him when it’s dark in his room. I’m scared if I turn his star night light on, he’ll just wanna stay awake when he does get up. I’m gonna lose my mind doing this everyday if it goes on much longer. I’m sleeping 4hrs during the week and when I do have time to sleep, the baby’s active sleep between 4-6am is so freakin loud I get woken up every 5 minutes 😂😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
He also still takes a nap most days, when I do skip his nap, he’s in a horrible mood all day and still wakes up at 5am and he’s honestly so exhausted that I don’t think he’s ready to drop

@Michele I try to get my son to just stay in bed with me but he wants me to go to his room so I have to finish putting baby back to sleep and then go lay in his room so it’s hard!
We started preschool recently and my sons sleep has changed for the worse. Barely naps now and wakes up really early. I am hoping it’s just a phase. Good luck mama

I have a newly 3 year old boy that for the past 2 months wakes up anywhere between 2 and 4am and comes to my bed. Half the time I don’t even notice him coming in the bed haha. Now we had a baby 10months ago and she’s still in my bed even though we have a crib set up in her brothers bedroom (2bedroom place). I am thinking my son has started feeling left out and wants to be with “us”. And or since he’s potty trained during the day and wears a pull up at bedtime maybe he’s waking up needing to go potty but doesn’t realize that’s what he needs to do. No tips, just letting you know you’re not alone! I plan to finally make the transition to putting my daughter in their shared room next week and I’m curious to know if that helps keep my son in his room. This mama is ready to get some uninterrupted sleep!
