Please help with any advice. My 20mo is a real terror at bedtimes at the moment. Until a couple of weeks ago, he used to sleep about 8pm-6.30am, with a 2-2.5 hour nap in the afternoon. Now he is not going to sleep until near 9pm, even though we start the routine at the same time. Sometimes he is messing around, eg. he won't stay lying down in bed and gets up and comes over to me (I stay in the room or just outside until he is asleep). If I put him back in bed, he giggles and just gets out again. If I close the door he cries.
Dropping his nap would help, but not quite sure he is ready as he goes down relatively easily, and would sleep for 3+ hours if we let him.
