How do you deal with an overtired baby who won’t sleep?

Bedtime last night took an hour and a half and all I could think was hell hath no fury like an overtired baby. I try to persevere but stand up and break the cycle of crazy screaming, look in a mirror and out the window and then keep trying but based on the fact my bedtime was hot garbage, don’t take advice from me 😂 I try to watch wake windows and tired cues like a hawk but WHERE DOES THE TIME GO???!

I just cry with them, my 2 year old and 11 month old refuse to sleep and I could be trying to get them to nap for 2+ hours a day and I’ll just give up then come tea/bed they won’t eat cause they’re too tired then they won’t sleep and just cry for hours on end and this is both of them 5/7 days a week so now I just cry cause I can’t take the stress 🤣

I generally just insist rocking him and cuddling him and, if he's too wired, I make some formula and give it to him, even if he only drinks 60ml. Breathing deep while I hold him close also seems to help him regulate. Longest I've had to rock him was 1h. Like 1h non stop until I got him to sleep, but he always ends up falling asleep. I generally keep my cool, I think that's my superpower. Then again, I only have 1 baby - easier to keep relaxed
