Please help ladies, I don’t know what else to try!
My 16 month old son has all of a sudden turned into a different baby at nighttime.
He’s always had a great routine of in his bed by 7:30, one or two wakes for a dummy but that’s it - we’ve never had tears at nighttime or nap time.
Now, he naps perfectly in the day, I take him to bed and he sleeps for 2 hours 11-1.
At bedtime now he will absolutely scream the house down, to the point you’d think he was physically in pain - his routine hasn’t changed at all. Honestly if I leave him in his room he will scream so much he’s sick, and eventually even if i’m sat in his room he won’t stop crying until I get him out and he eventually falls asleep with me around midnight.
Ive tried white noise, tonie box, no naps in the day, more naps in the day, changing the time of bedtime, sleeping in his cot, standing outside, sitting on the floor, nurofen and teething ailments, and absolutely nothing works.
Please please help, i’m terrified he will get used to sleeping with me and we lose our whole evening forever trying to settle him.
