So fed up with bedtime

We are having the same issue too! I'm 37 weeks pregnant now and for the last week my soon to be 19 month old screams crying every time we put him into his cot for bed. Never ever had this issue he's always been brilliant going to bed. I'm putting it down to regression and sensing the baby is coming. Not ideal but the only way we can do it is to let him fall asleep in our bed and then put him into his cot once he's in a deep sleep. I then either go back downstairs with my partner or just go to sleep myself 🤣😴 xx
Maybe now in the day is too long?

@Hannah we do the same! Although his mattress is next to ours on the floor. I'm worried about what we will do when his sister is here. Thinking maybe I will sleep in her room with her or downstairs and my partner in our room with our son. Even if its just for a few months until we can get them both sorted Is this a terrible idea, am i crazy? 🤣
@Chloe nightmare isn't it, he used to self soothe to sleep so well and all of a sudden he will not go down at all. Tbh I'm just going to wing it 🤣 I'm hoping my partner will lie in my bed with him until he falls asleep and then transfers him in whilst I'm downstairs with the baby until he comes out of this phase. The more I think about it the more it stresses me out so it's best I wing it 🤣 xx
Having exactly the same issues right now and due in a month 🫠
@Celine he only naps for just over an hour, and that’s if we can get him out for a walk. At nursery he doesn’t nap at all or he just falls asleep in his tea cause he’s so tired 🙈
@Hannah yeah we’ve always had to get him to sleep on our bed first then transfer him no way would he ever sleep alone 🙈 he’s always been quite difficult to get to sleep but I feel it’s been worse than ever recently! Maybe it’s just that he knows something is going on! X
Most likely he's teething, exact same thing was happening with us. Initially i thought he probably not teething he was eating normal n was being himself but let sleep either nap or night time it was like a battle n eventually i started doing same.. Started to bring him in living room. But recently i noticed his top side tooth cut through n he started biting him arms too.. I started giving him cold stuff, his teething gel n teething sachet just before hitting nap or night sleep n he's doing so much better n getting back to his routine.
Has he always been like this or just recently? A few months before I had my second, my son was an absolute nightmare at bedtime. He eventually went back to how he was before a few weeks after I gave birth. I think he just knew a change was happening.
