My ds is 2yrs and ever since he has been able to climb out of the cot he has become a nightmare at bedtime. Have now put him in a bed hoping it would help but it's even worse. Have only just got him to sleep now at 9.30pm! He shares a room with 4th old Dd which doesn't help. I have tried starting the bedtime routine earlier or later, tried lavender oil etc I now sit in the room with them and read for read stories to settle them down then get them into their beds and try to get them lying down. Dd is usually tired and so will go to sleep but Ds will stay awake for ages. If I leave the room he will come out laughing. I have to sit in the room until he is asleep and keep putting him back into his bed. He can lie there for ages with his eyes open even though he must be tired. This evening I got into bed with him in the end because I didn't know what else to do. Putting a stair gate on the bedroom door won't work as he will just climb over it! I am fed up with spending my whole evening just getting him to bed. Any ideas what to try next!
