Sleepy?

Recently my little monkey has struggled with her sleep, fighting it and getting so worked up that it take awhile to get her to nap... Once she sleeps she's a very light sleeper and until fully settled she's very jumpy.

After a bit of a nap she wakes up still seeming tired and not fully with it. At night she then becomes very hard to get to sleep properly until about 1am... Crying and getting really worked up, she never had much energy at all...

This is a very recent thing... Does this sound like your little one? Fear not!

PKU'ers struggle with energy levels due to the small amounts of protein, throw weaning and teething into the mix and you have a very energy deprived little one...

But things won't always be this tricky I noticed something on our prescription letter I had come across so looked it out, found out it's an energy supplier to be introduced into our PKU'ers routine. This will help make a difference as they grow as they will be getting less from the small amounts of protein...

So all I will say is if a sleep pattern changes and your PKU'er acts out of character don't worry this is to be expected... But let's not pin PKU on everything 😂😂 we don't want to excuse any naughty behaviour on PKU... But don't panic if sleeping patterns change, I've been told that this is pretty common in PKU so do not worry

I hope this helps you all in the future when tired and worried that you'll never get those lovely 8 hour sleeps back they will soon enough!
