2yo wakes 4x/night

My 2yo still wakes 4 times a night on average. Last advice was separation anxiety but are you sure that’s the issue? I’d check if the crib mattress is too firm first. Weighing between moving to a toddler bed or trying earlier bedtime, which?

naptimeking you’re spot on to question the anxiety label right away, what if it’s just leftover energy from the day spilling into night? Earlier bedtime feels like the gentler first step here, gives that routine a chance to settle things before any big switch.

naptimeking has the right idea skipping straight to the mattress check. I’d try locking in that earlier bedtime first with a couple steady steps each night like lights low then one quiet story, and give it a week to hold before touching the bed switch.

Tried shifting bedtime earlier but wakes stayed at 4. Still haven’t checked the mattress firmness.
