Is anyone else’s LO having trouble getting to sleep?

@EileenIt’s so tough, especially at this age where they can’t verbally say what’s wrong. My little girl is sometimes taking 2 hours to fall asleep, and crying a lot of the time. I don’t let her last nap of the day go past 3 and she used to be ready for bedtime around 6:30 but recently she doesn’t fall asleep until 8-9. It is possible her bed time is now too early but by 6 she looks exhausted, is very unsettled and rubs her eyes a lot. It’s all trial and error 😂 she’s also an early riser not matter what!
We are the same. My daughter is also 13 months. I think it's the weather or/and teething for us. My room has been really warm these last couple of days. Currently my thermometer says 24°degrees and we are used to 18° degrees. She's slept once for 30mins 10:30-11am today and has literally just gone down now at 9pm. I don't know how she's stayed up this long. She usually has 1 nap a day at 12:30/ 1pm for one to two hours but fell asleep early today. I gave her some nurofen tonight as I think her teeth were hurting her, and it seems to have worked. She fell asleep 20mins afterwards. Last week she was sleeping at 7 or 8pm - 7am. She always wakes at 7am. Could your baby maybe be ready to drop to one nap a day? Might be worth a try and you can always change it back to two if it doesn't work for you guys 💕x
same issue!! my lb’s actually napping longer in the day though because of how much he’s struggling at night😓. i’m absolutely shattered😅
Oh my 13 month old is exactly the same, it’s like a constant battle for naps and bed time. My little boy was never a good sleeper either but we did have getting to sleep down (although he was never a self soother, I always had to help him to sleep) but now it can take 20/30 minutes to get him to sleep. I thought about making his wake window longer too but he also shows the signs of being tired and I don’t think he would do longer without moaning but then when it comes to going to sleep it takes forever. I put my little one to bed between 7/7.30 depending on when woken up from last nap but I don’t let him sleep later then 3.30. If anyone has any suggestions I would also love it. Also my little one is an early riser too no matter what time he goes to bed!! Haha
