My toddler will not sleep
I’m at a loss here, my 20th month old daughter always wakes up at night, it is always 5.5 hours into the night. I’ve tried adjusting her bedtime, adjusting her naps, tried to increase her calorie intake during the day but nothing seems to work.
She is currently on a schedule of 7.30-12, nap time is capped to 2 hours. She is at nursery for 3 days a week so it’s been harder to manage her naps. She is in bedtime around 7:45 every night. She usually has dinner, an hour of quiet time, bath, stories and bed by 7:45pm,
She was originally sleep trained by the age of 10 months through the Ferber method.
Now I tried to feed her with calories before bed but she always wakes up in the night. Should I push her bedtime back? Cap her nap time even further?
She is awake every night for 3 hours and then resettled back to sleep by herself eventually when she’s tired. I have tried bottle feeding at night; not my ideal but I’m a loss, I have tried CIO, sitting beside her and slowly adjusting my way out, didn’t like it. I don’t know what to do. Please any advice would be much appreciated. I’m a single mum and very tired now with multiple weeks of the same issue.
