First baby, so maybe we’ve approached this all wrong - but so far, other than a couple of nasty sleep regressions, we get 7-7 with an hour or so nap in the day and generally a happy, chilled out little boy. So we’ve not changed the routine we’ve had since he was tiny, which is that one of us lies down with him on a sofa bed, has a chat until he’s asleep, then transfers him into his cot.
The last week or so, he seems to have clicked what bedtime is and that he’s rather be playing! It’s taken over an hour every night and I think it’s now time that we need to do what we should have done ages ago and help him get to sleep on his cot.
any tips on how to do this?? When I put him in, he shouts ‘no’ ‘out’ and ‘I NOT’ and stands up and cries until I take him out…
