Sleeping FAQ: 18-24 Months – Night Waking
My 18-month-old son rarely sleeps through the night and eats little in the day. My son only sleeps through the night (he will wake at approx 6am) when he is about to experience a cold or virus (usually 2 days prior). The doctor has stated he is prone to allergies etc, minor illness appears to be quite common approx every 5 weeks. He wakes on average 3 times per night (Until recently it could be 6/7). He eats very little although quite often. He refuses meat, eats little fruit and veg [I have therefore introduced Innocent smoothies] and has little interest in food in general. He is an extremely active…

Sleeping FAQ: 18-24 Months – Night Waking
My daughter of 18mths wakes in the night, sometimes for 2hours but does not cry out for us. My daughter has for some months began waking during the night, never at the same times, for anything up to two hours. She doesn’t cry but she talks and sometimes shouts out. Sometimes we will go in to her and tell her to shush and go back to sleep or we just leave her. This happens regardless of whether she has had a good/bad lunchtime nap and regardless of whether she talks for a while before falling to sleep at night. It also doesn’t matter if has eaten a lot during the…

Sleeping FAQ: 18-24 Months – Lunchtime Nap
My 18mth daughter settles well when with her grandparents for this nap but screams and cries when she is at home. My 18mth daughter has all of a sudden started to resist being put down for her lunchtime nap. She is ready for this nap as she seems quite tired at lunchtime. I have bought lunchtime forward to 11.45pm so that she goes down at 12.30pm. Grandparents have no problem with this nap, it is just at home she screams and cries and is difficult to settle. As your daughter’s grandparent’s care for her during the week, her routine with them is familiar to her. If you care for her…

Sleeping FAQ: 18-24 Months – Lunchtime Nap
My daughter, aged nearly two years, has started to have inconsistent naps at lunch time, often remaining awake in her cot chatting for 1.5 hours. This began after a period of illness where she lost her appetite. Following the afternoons when she does sleep well, she will not settle to sleep until 8pm in the evening and, on the afternoons when she doesn’t sleep well, she is a total nightmare as she is so irritable.
