Help with 5year old keep waking up in night
My 5 year old has recently moved into he's own room and now he sleeps from 8pm - 730am everyday
But now since going in he's own room he's sleeping from 8-midnighg then waking up going to the toilet every hour to 2 hours any advice I'm not sure if he's going or if it's just to get out of bed! Any advice |

he shouldn't be needing the toilet every 1-2 hours so unless hes going that often during the day in which case he may have a water infection its most likely an excuse.
If hes waking at the same time each night is there something happening at that time that is waking him? Is he getting cold during the night? ds has been waking me up telling me he's cold lately as he constantly kicks all the covers off. how does he settle to sleep? does he go off on his own or have some kind of routine? if hes not used to self settling he may be finding it hard to get back to sleep once woken what happens when he gets up? is he getting a lot of attention |

It's a big step for little ones to be in their own room. He may not be settling properly as he is scared of all the night time noises etc. I don't particularly like sleeping alone and I'm 39 so it's a big deal to a 5 year old. He might just need a cuddle.

Is he waking because he needs the Toilet, or because something else is waking him and he can't go back to sleep without going to the loo first (like a routine?)

My 5 year old has always slept no bother straight through but since my return to work she has been getting up in the night. It is lessening now as the weeks go on and she is waking less and less. She has simply needed that bit of re-assurance that I am still there and a quick cuddle. It sounds as though your little one with the move into his own room might be the same just needing a quick check in with you to make sure you haven't gone anywhere. I hope he starts to settle soon.

we have been going through this for about 6 months with our 4 1/2 year old - some nights good some not so good.
The advise is tell them your expectations at bed time (ours is you can go to the toilet once and we will only say its bedtime and take you back to bed without speaking to you). In the morning go over if he was an angel or if he thinks he got up too much. if he does this he gets 1 sticker, if he gets 3 he gets a mini present (magazine) when he gets 9 he gets a present of his choice. we find if we get into a conversation he gets up often over the next 2 hours which is sooo tiring for us... its slowly working and he is slowly getting the message... other things are is there too much light pollution in his room? If you want any advise feel free to message or PM me. Theres lots of various advise! Thanks kris |

We had this for a while with one of the twins
It wasn't because of being in her room with her sister they've been in their since they were two months old She was wanting the confirmation we were still there and she wasn't alone Resolved it with a teddy sprayed with my perfume So she can smell me she's happy Kids weird huh We top the perfume up after washing teddy every few weeks and lily chooses which of my perfume we spray on |

Our daughter was for ever shouting " mummy, is it mornnniinngggg? What seems like every five minutes. Just a few weeks ago we bought a grow clock from argos £25. You set the sleep times and it's a yellow sun face during the day, you tell it your going to bed at which time it turns blue with a moon and stars and then changes yellow when they are allowed to get up. I told her that unless it was a code red situ ie being eaten by a shark etc then we didn't want to hear from her till the sun has his hat on! It's really worked, it seems like she just didn't know if it was time to get up or not ( I thought the pitch dark would have been a clue? )
