He sleeps at nap time but won't sleep now
@Samantha it’s awful I hope it’s just a regression, the only reason we cut down the naps is cause he was fighting the middle nap so we didn’t think he wanted it anymore, and now it’s just a nightmare at bedtime
It makes me feel like a failure. Why can't I get my baby to sleep
Now everyone in the house is getting angry at me
Can you try pushing back bedtime from 7pm to 8pm and see if that helps? Mine’s a terrible sleeper, getting better now with some sleep training, but one thing we don’t struggle with is her going down in her cot at the beginning of the night. Typical sleep schedule is wake up 7:30, nap 10, nap 2, bedtime 8/8:15. After I breastfeed her I brush her teeth and put on sleep sack + red light/ white noise and put her down awake. After a few nights she started going to sleep within a minute or two with no crying
I might push my sons second nap back to 2:30 and see if that helps
@Allie what sleep training method did you use, we have no issue with putting him to sleep either, he will fall asleep on his own but just 2 days ago he started waking around 30mins after, and now we put him to bed at 10 and he woke up 30mins after again crying, he’s nack down now hoping he stays asleep but I just don’t know what’s wrong with him or if it’s just teething maybe he’s too warm but I’ve undressed him now I have no idea
It’s so hard to know if it’s teething or tummy or temperature or regression.. 🙈 We started the ‘well rested wee ones’ program which is basically ferber. To be fair it was going really really well with our sleep windows getting longer every night for over a week until last night. Something was up with her, I think tummy problems, and it was a terrible night. Hoping we get back on track asap! My goal is to decrease to just one wake up/ night feed
I'm in the exact same position. Sleep for 5 mind and wide awake won't go back down after bed time booby
