My almost 3 year old DS has been waking up in the middle of the night off and on for a few months. Last night he woke up around 2:30 am and did not fall back asleep until almost 6 am! He does not cry but will just stay in bed, tossing and turning and sometimes talking to himself. I'm worried he's not getting enough sleep plus I can't continue to come in to work late in order to allow him a couple of extra hours to sleep.
ETA: Yesterday he skipped his nap (he usually still naps for about 2 hours every day) so he went down for the night a bit early at 8:00 pm. Feel asleep right away but was up from 2:30 am to about 6:00 am. He then slept from about 6 am to 9:30 am. Has anyone experienced this before??
TIA for your help!
Re: Almost 3 y.o. waking in middle of the night??
Yep, we went through that at almost 3. I honestly think he was having growing pains. It lasted a couple of months and then it was over.
Thank you all for your responses!
