I’m really hoping that someone has some advice because I feel at a complete loss and haven’t come across a thread with anyone else having the same problem.
My 17 week old DS a nightmare to get to bed at night - it can easily take two hours for him to fall asleep after we’ve started his bedtime routine. I would have put it down to the infamous 4 month regression, but this has been going on since he was about 10 weeks old! It’s really starting to get me down now because I basically go to bed at 7:30 every night, as by the time he’s finally gone to sleep there’s not much of the evening left.
Maybe I’m missing something in the timing of the routine?
Last night example:
He woke up from his last nap at 6:30 so we started his bedtime routine at 7:30 with bath, PJs and feed with the aim of getting him in bed for 8pm. He finally went to sleep just before 10! I know that he’s tired because he’s yawning and gets quite grumpy before bedtime, but he just won’t sleep.
Does anyone have any tips or could tell me what I’m doing wrong? I’m a FTM so this is all new to me.
