Fighting bedtime!!!!

Anyone else’s almost 1 year old fighting bedtime? Naps aren’t an issue, she goes down fine. Has 30-40 minute morning nap and 1.5 hour max afternoon. We cap both or she’d sleep longer. Last 3 nights she has fought bedtime and it’s taken us from 6.30-7 until 8/8.30 to get her to sleep 😴 advice please!!!

What I do I take my little boy in bed beside me until he falls asleep we don't do it too often

This is us! 😭 bedtime has always been fine till about a week ago and now it’s a battle and easily takes over an hour but nap times are completely fine and nothings changed! Can’t work out what’s different 😬 hopefully it’s just a phase 🤞🏼

Maybe just try a later bed instead? So 7:30/8 instead of 6:30/7 see if it helps x

Might be the dreaded #12monthsleepregression? Xx

In the exact same situation with my nearly one year old!! He’s also fighting his second nap so should in fact be absolutely exhausted by bed time but isn’t!

It might be that she now needs to transition to 1 nap a day

We’ve transitioned to one midday nap instead of 2 and it’s helped this, but we still have some funny nights. I think it’s a sleep regression x

Not sure where you live but is it the heat?

Maybe time to go down to 1 nap? Or maybe try a later bed, if they're not getting enough wake time before bed? What time do they wake up from their pm nap?

She just isn’t tired yet and needs more evening playtime

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
