Our 3 year old is currently going through assessments for autism and the last 11 months have been awful at night. Over the last few months he has been moaning quite a lot in his sleep and running his hand up and down the side of the cot. He goes to bed at 7 with a bottle of milk and normally falls asleep by 7:20 but recently he's been stirring again by half 8 and will only settle back down with a bottle of water. He will normally start moaning again between half 9 and 10pm and every night he refuses to settle in his bed and will only sleep lying on me. There's some nights where we've ended up on the sofa because he just won't settle.
He also no longer naps during the day unless we are in a vehicle.
Is there any tips that we can try? He's still sleeping in our room as our older son is in the other bedroom we have. I have also got in contact with Cerebra and have sent in sleep journals and we are waiting to hear back from them.
I just want to have 1 decent night sleep without being slept on and waking up with numb ankles from trying to keep him safe through the night.
