Mr W (25 mos) is very challenging lately.

He goes to bed at 8:30 and wakes up at 5:30. He always wakes up at least twice a night if not more. When he wakes up, he comes in our room and wakes us up and we then put him in bed. We have reached a peace with this.

Lately when he wakes up, he is sobbing uncontrollably and it takes time to calm him down. A few nights ago I went into his room and he was walking around saying "NO! NO! NO!" then he started crying.

This new phase has created a situation where we get very little sleep from 1-4 am every other night due to him being upset about something.

Has anyone been through this and what has helped?
