sleep help with 20 month old!!

2u2wow

DS used to sleep through the night - he never fights sleep at bedtime and is usually dead asleep by 7pm and would sleep till around 6 for a sippy of milk then fall back to sleep  or just lay in bed quietly until about 630

in the last couple months he's been getting up at 430am!!! and he wakes up yelling for me or dadda! DH will get up and give him his bottle by around 5ish when he hasn't stopped fussing. but now he won't go back to sleep, so we've been up at 5 just about every day for the past couple months!

we're both starting to go a little nuts. i know we'll be up MUCH more in the next couple weeks when DS2 comes along but it'd be nice to catch up on some sleep ahead of time so i'm not a total zombie by then.

any tips to get DS1 to sleep in more!?

**i must add that by holding him up later it does NOT help...we can keep him up until 830 and he's still up at 4 or put him down at 730 and same thing...

Is he teething? I'd let him CIO. Your DH going in at 5am and giving him a bottle is just making it worse in my opinion, now your DS is going to expect that bottle at 5am! CIO works wonders.

DD did started this around the same time DS was born. DD was waking up 3 times a night. Once or twice for a bottle. I think she was sensing changes and needed more comfort and maybe a growth spurt in there too. CIO is not for me. In total it lasted 3 months and then she started sleeping again. I didn't want DD to associate DS with negativity. Things are great now. This too shall pass.

If you just let him cio he will learn after a few nights that its not time to get up yet and he will get used to it! Had to do this with my 18month old right before her brother was born(=
