“Why is my baby waking for 2 hours during the night?”

Is your baby waking through the night for a long period of time, happy and ready to play? This is called a split night. Basically anything you try will not get them back to sleep.

To help with split nights;


Look at the amount of day sleep your little one is getting. Could it be too much?
Check they are spending the appropriate amount of time in bed at night. Try not to let them have a lay in to make up for the time awake during the night (although waking them up is the last thing we want to do when we have been awake with them during the night!)
Sometimes a bedtime that is consistently too early can cause split nights aswell.

Look at your little ones sleep over a 24 hour period and have a look at what might need tweaking and rebalancing. I can help you with this.
