I am not too sure what I can do if anything.
My own child is 4. He has never been a sleeper since birth. He stopped taking naps at age 1.5. BUT he needs them. Every day he wakes up around 5am to 6:30am. He does not nap. I deal with horrible behavior all morning most days. Some times it goes on all day. He does not nap and only gets about 5 to 8 hours asleep each night. We fight him nightly to sleep, somtimes 3-5 hours. He wakes 2-3 times a night and has done this since birth.
He is very small for his age, most of my 2 year olds are bigger than him. Other than small in size, he is on track with everything else. He is a very smart boy and is a pretty good eater most of the time.
I don't know what to do. I have not slept in years and my body got used to it, but now I am finally starting to feel the pain.
Anyone ever deal with this? What should I do? What can I do? Should I take him to the doctors?
