Sleep regression?

Question

My son who usually sleeps 7pm-6:30am has been waking up every other night around midnight and 2am crying. Even after we calm him down he will refuse to go back to his crib. We normally put him down for his two naps and bedtime with no issues, he is calm and sleeps within 10-15 mins. Anyone have similar experience and advice? Hopefully this is just a phase

Answer

Yes I'm going through the same thing!!!?😭😭😭

Answer

There have been a few posts on here about new sleep issues and it makes me feel so much better that I'm not alone. I still nurse to sleep but bedtime was easy. He would nurse for 20ish minutes and then rollover and I would lay him down. I don't know what happened but right before Christmas he started refusing his crib. He just will not WILL NOT go in his crib. Screams blood curdling screams the second I try to lay him down no matter how asleep he seems. I've been sleeping with him for the past couple weeks. He went from sleeping 10-11 hours straight and then one night just freaked. He's had a few nights where I've been able to get him down but he wakes in an hour or so. Dan is really pushing to let him cry but I just can't yet. I'm convinced something developmental is going on and if we just give him time he will work through it but he's getting impatient.

Answer

I have no advice because so far we have had no problems at night. but could it be the beginning of night terrors I wonder ? sounds like he needs to be reassured more so than usual since you describe him as a good sleeper. has he started walking ? it could be linked to a developmental leap ... in any case,  I think it sounds like a phase and it will pass. in that case, patience is the key (which I know is difficult ). I wouldn't change anything and try to act as usual.  good luck.
