12 month old will not go to sleep even though he’s sooo tired

My LO is 2 weeks off turning One, and lately he doesn’t like to go to sleep at nightime, he has 2 short naps a day 20/30 minutes but when it comes to night he just does not settle,
I’ve tried a bath, bedtime story and a bottle just before we go up but nothing seems to work,
he’s so tired he’s rubbing his eyes but just won’t give in, I’m just looking for some advice and if anyone has any different tips for me to try please 🙏🏻

What happens when you put him down in his cot?

He just cries, and then stands himself up on the side of the cot, I’ve tried leaving him for 3 minutes at a time and then going back in and attempt to put him back down, he just gets really upset

it could be the fomo (fear of missing out )..

could either lay down next to his bed/cot and nap so he falls alseep

or you can make his bedtime a bit later

I'd see if you can get him to have one longer nap starting before lunch.
