Sleepless toddler - family at end of tether

I didn't say anything 😁

Co-sleep?

That's what we did. Never had sleepless nights. I know it's not for everyone but it worked for all of ours.

I do beg all your pardons

Ì am shame faced about contributing to an ancient thread

No problem Louella, it’s easily done.

At that age I'd suggest co-sleeping and letting him feed at night. All kids are different and this is an exhausting, pointless battle when the solution could be so much easier on mum and babe. There are no 'shoulds' with this, one of my granddaughers co-slept and breast fed until she was four.

There you go. What did I say 🤦🏼‍♀️

Ewan the sheep is very good as is My Hummy - 2 DGC have this and it can be programmed to last all night. 18 months is still very young though.

Bloody Hell Elaine1.
This thread is 10 years old and no longer relevant.

I’d ask his girlfriend round - that would solve the problem 🤣🤣🤣

Twelve is rather too old for Ewan the Sheep, though.

Ha didn't realise it was an old post. Still might be of use to someone.

I had a non sleeper! We were exhausted. She didnt cry thank goodness but just wanted to be awake and playing. My ambition was to go to bed after her and for me to get up refreshed before her. She didn't sleep through the night until she was 5years old. (She did have a traumatic birth with numerous operations required plus spent 10weeks in an incubator - in those days they kept lights on the babies all the time).

We used to have a rule we put up with the crying etc for 3 nights in a row and then on the fourth night we gave our DS a spoonful of Phenergan ! He is now 49 and in good health.

I am not recommending this procedure but it worked for us. 👍

OMG - THIS THREAD IS 10 YEARS OLD!!!!

I won’t risk a comment about sheep! 🐑

It’d be interesting to know if the now 12 year old subject of the OP did ever get off to sleep alone
Hope so. 😀

I think this thread still has its merits Georgesgran

If ever there was a thread where RTFT was more apt, this has got to be it. 🤦🏼‍♀️
