1 year old coming alive at night!

[mumsie01]

Our son falls asleep in our bed and then we move him into his own room. We put him in our bed around 7.30 and he just comes alive! He's so happy and smiley and just crawls all over the bed and us and sometimes doesn't get to sleep until 9/10pm. Obviously this means me and hubby get no evening and we have to go to bed at 7.30 when he does. If we put him straight in his cot he will just cry and will not go to sleep. Any tips? Does it get easier?

This is very sweet but slightly insane. There are no cues for him that's sleep time. How old is he? I would just start again. Put him in his cot to start if he cries, pick him up, put him back. Repeat. It's really hard but not as hard as going to bed at 7.30 every day to have a baby crawl in you for two hours.

Put him in his cot to fall asleep will take a few nights but will soon get bored and get the massage that it's the new bed time routine. Of course he will cry no baby at that age likes bed time.

Can you start a new routine bath at 6.30 then in to his room for a story then you leave he will cry when you leave but go in after a few mins lie him back down and repeat will take a few nights but will be worth it in the long run.
