Almost 2 yr old sleep regression

Ugh I'm at a loss. Dd will be 2 in March. She had been waking and not napping for about a month maybe longer. I'm exhausted. So for a while she wouldn't nap. Now she's back to napping but maybe for hour. Maybe. She's exhausted I'm exhausted. And not only are naps messed up but she's waking at night usually around 1 am screaming "mama out" mamamamamamamama frantic standing up. She's wide awake. Every now and agian she'll sleep until 6/6:30 but still wakes screaming to
Get out frantically. She used oaky in her crib for an hour while I showered int he morning. I have no idea what else to do. She's frantic so
I don't want to CIO. She's looking for me. Separation anxiety? She doesn't leave my side during the day. Is all about and where I am and is my shadow.

Any advice on how to fix this or get through this?

Almost 2 yr old sleep regression

I went through this word for word practically with my dd right before turning 2. Its a phase and it will pass. I think it was a lil separation anxiety. My dd wouldnt let anyone go near her but me. She wouldnt let anyone put her to bed but me.
She would go to sleep ok but wake up in the middle of the night hysterical and want to come in bed with me. Some nights i was so exhausted i would bring her and she would pass right back out and sleep later in the morning. But i didnt do that often because i was not starting that habit.
She did this for over a month i want to say.
Im sorry i dont have advice on how to make it pass but 1 day it just stopped. And she was fine again.
I always responded when she cried out and i would rub her back hold her hand but i stopped picking her up. I would sit on the floor next to her crib u til she went back to bed. Or in the rocking chair. Eventually it passed.
It sux. I was tired everyday and cranky lol

Re: Almost 2 yr old sleep regression

This will happen periodically with dd who is 2. She will sometimes (1-2 nights per week) get up during the night screaming. The on,y thing that works is taking her out of the crib and letting her lay on the couch for about 5 minutes. Then she's fine when I put her back in bed. It's like she needs that scenery change or something. I hope she outgrows it soon...

My son who will be 2 in February and doing this as I write this (hence why I'm up at 215 lol). I dunno what to do either! I was just in there for 20 minutes and he layed back down and I rubbed his back but when I left he wasn't fully asleep yet and popped back up again and has been screaming mommy mom ever since I left. He seems like he's tiring himself out now so hopefully he'll go back to sleep! I really hope this phase ends soon too!! Also he won't leave me alone during the day either! Totally up my butt and saying mommy every two seconds!

Ugh this is a terrible phase lol. Today it was 5:30 am up and screaming. I took her in bed with me and she passed back out but I hate doing that. I am not comfortable, she's all over flip flops etc. I don't want her to wake my older dd either. It just sucks lol

I hear ya!! I don't wanna get in the Habit of bringing him into bed with me either!! Finally after 2 hours of checking him he went back to sleep only to wake up a half hour later!! Dh works nights so I'm by myself most nights and I texted him I don't know what to do! Finally I went and got him and told him that mommys mad and he's a bad boy and I just turned my back to him in my bed and he whined till he fell to sleep! Lol I've done CIO with him various times throughout his life to break bad sleep habits and it's worked but this is different! The screaming mommy over and over sucks! And obv last night he didn't stop for two hours! I dunno what else to do! Just hoping this phase ends soon!
