He's been a fairly good sleeper so far. Not amazing but for the last few months he's slept through the night most nights with no trouble at bedtime, and usually if he does wake up during the night we just give him some water and his dummy and goes straight back to sleep with no fuss.
Last few nights he's been terrible settling down to sleep. He just wants to get up and play despite being obviously tired. He'll walk around in the cot angrily chucking his dummy, toy bunny etc out of the cot to get our attention. If I pick him up to settling down he starts playing with me and giggling manically even if I try and make it really boring. If I leave him for a few minutes to cry he gets so worked up I'm forced to pick him up to settle him down and doesn't settle for a while.
He's had calpol, teething gel, milk, water... I don't know what's up! I can hear him right now moaning and grumpily babbling in his room despite having been in bed for neary 2 hours already!
Any idea what causes this? Anyone else had this problem? Any ideas?! I've been back at work for months now so no major changes of routine. I need my rest even more now I'm back at work

Why is my 13 month old suddenly refusing to sleep at bedtime and waking up at night?!
