My toddler won’t sleep 😩

[Jessmm25]

Hi I’m new here so not sure what I’m doing so bare with me. So I have a 18 month old boy called teddy and he has never been a good sleeper and atm me and my partner are at the end of our tether with his sleeping. We just don’t no what to do he goes bed around 8 and tbf that always a hassle but then he will wake around 10:30/11 and just scream the place down if we don’t get there straight away. Once he goes back to sleep he will be awake again in 30 mins and this will keep going on for a few hours at least. We have tried to let him cry but he’s just sick all the time so the cry it out doesn’t work. I don’t want to keep getting him out to comfort him as that starting a whole new habit. My other boy is 8 and he was a fantastic sleeper. If anyone has been in this position I need your help

What are you doing to try and get him to sleep? What does his bedtime routine look like?

So he has food at 5:30, bath at 6ish (he loves his bath so he’s normally in there for a while) hour play time then we try and get him down before 8 at the latest. Normally we try and rub his back and just shhh him sometimes give him juice but he just doesn’t stay asleep. He has only slept through the night about 2 times.

Is he in a cot?

I would do bath, milk offered, teeth brush, books and bed.

He is still young to be sleeping through and not needing you for a cuddle.

Thank you I will try tonight.
