Help!!! Sleep Issues

My DS is 2.5. He has never been a good sleeper.  My DH had back surgery so he is not sharing our bed and hasn't for years, because of this I bed shared with our son for about 2 years.  Shortly before our next DS arrived we brought him down to his room.  He did ok at first but now he's having such a hard time.  It's not that he won't sleep in his bed but he wakes constantly and tosses and turns all night.  Some nights are better than others. By this I mean he wakes only once or twice and goes back down quickly.  Other nights he's up for hours!  He also has night terrors on occasion.  My DH is a stay at home dad so it's not like he has to be at work the next day and we are stressed about that.  However, he is miserable the next day.  I feel terrible for him.  He's crabby and grumpy and just not happy.  Has anyone been through something similar? Suggestions?

  • I am sorry to hear about the struggles with this.Have you tried white noise? Is there something that is scaring him that is making him have nightmares? Have you talked to his doctor at all maybe there is someone else going on. I will keep you in my prayers!
