Please help with some advice! My very nearly 2 year old little boy is really bad at taking naps and going to sleep at bedtime. We have tired earlier bedtimes, later bedtimes, routines everything. But nothing seems to help him fall asleep and stay asleep. Baths before bed also seem to make him very hyper too.
last night was worse it’s ever been, at the moment he is in our bedroom in a travel cot as he has been unwell, but he is getting better and last night he woke up and wouldn’t stop crying until he was in bed with me, once in bed he wanted to be cuddled up with me as sweet as it is he’s a fidget and also disturbs my sleep. So in the end he had a good night I didn’t. He won’t go to sleep with his dad either, we’ve tried to do bedtime with dad but he just thinks it’s playtime and gets super excited so I just send my partner off to the bath. I am so exhausted and don’t know what else to do to change so dad can do bedtimes aswell. Someone help me get out of this cycle please! I don’t want to keep getting angry at him and shouting but my stress levels are so high! I love him dearly but I just need a break!
