11 month old sleep monster

I have no tips but your not alone my son won't sleep at all during the night if he isn't in our bed it's been a bit of a nightmare completely agree with the health visitor comment all I get is oh its just a phase xx

that’s what I get but I honestly feel like I’m failing. Especially cause I have a 2 year old who likes to go out and do stuff but I just never have the energy too🙄. I’ve tried co sleeping with him and even that just doesn’t work nothing does😩😩 xx

@Chloe hope you get some sleep soon 😔 co sleeping is the only way I get some sleep xx

From personal experience, he might be overtired the more overtired they become the harder it is for them to sleep properly and the harder it is for them to go to sleep (something to do with a hormone it creates)
Naps are important at this age to prevent them getting too overtied
If you can afford it (10.00 a month) the huckleberry app might be worth a go absolute god send for us!

Oh dear. So sorry you are having a hard time. You must be exhausted! Does he not nap in the car or pram? You may have to pop. Him in either to help you out? White noise? I'm sure you have tried everything already . 🙁

this has been the case since he has been born. I try to get him to nap and he just won’t. I’ve tried pillow sprays, different routines. You name it I’ve done. And I’ve got that app and I’ve tried everything it suggests and still nothing. Even took him to relaxation classes for babies 50 pound a session and that didn’t work either. Honestly I feel like I’m failing 🥲

nope he won’t go to sleep in his pram or the car🥲 and if he does it’s just for 5/10 mins and that’s it. And yep I brought white noise machines the lot and absolutely nothing 🙄 xx

You're not failing! It's so hard being a mum, you're doing brilliant! Does he fight his sleep?

Im guessing super active activities dont wear him out? Or water activities and potatoe/startchy foods straight after? My sons a powernap sleeper, similar t your self,he used t nap only 10-15mins and be good t go for another 2-3hours,i found a splash around in his bathtub for 1/2hour, a moisturise/massage, then heavy foods like rice/mash potato after hes dried and dressed... Then a good milk feed to top it off another half hour after and he's well and truly knackered? Turning the temp up t make them dozey sometimes helps? Your deffo not failing! Each little Monster has their own way to test their parents sanity! Keep going! He will get better at sleeping!.x

I have no tips but my 11 month old is the same, I have only just started putting him in his own bed now because he would sleep for a hour then I have had screaming matches because I am putting him in his own bed and not with me 🤦‍♀️

If he sleeps in my bed he sleeps sometimes but normally just twitches all night !! Xx

I'm so sorry😭😭 I hope it gets easier for you soon. Xx

I absolutely could of wrote this myself, my twins are 11 months old, haven’t slept through, wake and start playing, refuse to goto sleep, I’ve literally tried everything, no advice but you’re not alone xx

it’s so hard isn’t it 🥺 xxxx

yeah, like I hate bedtime, I hate getting tired myself because I know for a fact that as soon as I put my head on that pillow one or both of them will wake, sometimes not getting to sleep myself until 6/7am then awake again by 9am, mummy guilt sets in because you feel like you’re doing something wrong, although we actually aren’t, if ever you want a early am chat I’ll be awake 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ xx
