Oh my gosh, I am so sorry to hear. It sounds really tough. If it helps you in the slightest, this is not uncommon (unfortunately) and parents often cope by taking the kid to their bed when they wake up first time in the night. My son started doing that too except he won't go back to sleep if we stayed at his crib side, it would take super long and it's not worth losing our sleep over it. We take him to our bed and even that is a bit annoying but there isn't anything to do yet. They will grow up and not need us like this anymore, already in a couple years hopefully. I know that it is really hard right now
Literally could of written this last night. My daughter could fall asleep independently and was happy in her cot. Last few days she’s been crying hysterically when we leave. Took her 1:30hr to sleep last night. Cut her nap down to 1 hr today and she cried for a few minutes then went to bed! Hopefully we are getting on back to normal! Don’t want to start a new habit! Good luck x x x
Oh goodness that sounds horrendous. Is there a way you could take time off, sick leave for a few days to catch up on sleep and your toddler can still go to daycare? Then you can recharge? Would you consider cosleeping on a mattress in their room just for this time? That’s maybe an option. We did that while he had a few regression nights and he went back to sleeping in his own cot in his room totally fine. And presumably you’ve checked that it’s not teething or too cold / hot? If it’s neurological it will pass. Magnesium supplements for you I would recommend! It’s just so awful the sleep deprivation.
