Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!
Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.
Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.
Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.
He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.
What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

My boy is 10 months and we have recently transitioned to 2 naps and seeing a very similar thing. I’ve asked ChatGPT and they said it’s likely because of the transition and being overtired. So they’re saying to do an earlier bedtime for a few days to reset. I will give it another go but I did an earlier bedtime last night and no luck! Still up at 5 and multiple wakes! I get like 4-5 wakes before 12am so not even getting that long stretch! It’s so killer

Sounds like they after overtired by bedtime. When are the naps?
