Ok, so I know 9 months is pretty rough (sleep regression, lots of development etc) but it seems our ENTIRE routine has got screwed up. I haven't had more than 2 hours sleep on the trot since the beginning of September :(
DC used to sleep 9pm-6.30/7am then 2 naps of roughly 1-2 hours during the day. He is becoming increasingly difficult to put down for naps/sleep. Last night he didn't sleep till 10pm, even though he'd been awake from 2.30pm. He then woke at 6.30am, and is now fighting against his nap, just screaming and shouting. I used to feed to sleep (or he'd be gently rocked by the nanny if I was out), and would go off like a dream. But it appears he just DOESN'T want to sleep regardless of how tired he is. He's just learnt to pull himself and stand in his cot, so I know this is responsible for his routine changing but I'm at a loss as to what to do..
I know bedtime is late, but I've tried an earlier bedtime and he's then up at 5am, waking my eldest child who is then tired at nursery. Can anyone help give me some ideas as to what I can do?
