Lol 😁

Yeah I'm trying. But I'm prepared for this battle! Lol 😂 @tjmom14,

That's awesome! You will get there just takes time. ☺

Yeah it's deff a phase! He's still awake but it's only midnight so if he's asleep in the next even two hours I've made progress! I'm slowly trying to cut back by like an hour or so at a time! @tjmom14,

My son when he takes naps like that he's up till one or two in the morning that's why I started the earlier nap times. But every child is different I could be he's just going through a phase.

Fingers crossed

He sleeps in the room with us. He's had his own room and shared with us before. We never had a problem until recently. Today as soon as I noticed he was getting sleepy I put him down for a nap at like 4. He slept till 6/6:30. Now I'm hoping he'll maybe go to sleep around 11. Which totally beats 4/5 am! @tjmom14,

I let him just keep going for a couple weeks but I found that he slept better if he had someone lay next to him. He stayed asleep when he knew someone was close by. Maybe try a heated blanket next to him rolled up. He may feel like someone is next to him and stay asleep.

So you kept waking him up and trying to fix his schedule or you left it alone and it got better? @tjmom14,

Yeah my son did that for a few months it will get better. Hopefully soon!

Thanks for that @tjmom14, seems like it will get better! Sounds a lot like me. We do that with my son as well, like I'll get him comfy and ready for bed. (He knows after his bath, and he gets milk, it's quiet time and time to relax. Only problem I have is this random waking up around midnight and staying awake until 4/5. Lol

My son had the same problem now he is in bed on time and up earlier. Takes his nap at noon to two. I work 12 hour shifts mon-sat so my sitter and I had to figure out a plan and make it work. He is up by 7 he plays and does some learning activities tries to use the potty but just doesn't want to try lol. Around 1130 I have her take him somewhere no matter the weather even if just driving around. He will end up sleeping in his seat. She takes him home lays him in his bed and wakes him at two if he isn't up before then. By 730 he eats dinner brushes his teeth and takes a bath. If he's not super whinny and ready for bed I will sit on the couch next to him and get him comfortable with a kids movie and he will fall out about thirty minutes into it if not sooner. He has gotten better about sleeping through the night too.

Aw 😊 I know that feeling plus boys are some mamas boys! @nellyrule77,

Thank you for that. I've yelled before just not like tonight. I can't wait for morning so I can give him lots of love, hugs and kisses.

@mommyof1boyy, I never took him out of bed, thing is he will sit there and play and play for hours. My son is like me when I was that age, I could sit alone and entertain myself for hours! I tell him "No it's not play time, it's night night time!" He wins every time lol. Until he eventually falls asleep around 4.

@nellyrule77, You know what I did that about a week ago. I was so tired I couldn't open my eyes, and I lost it a little, I felt horrible, and teared up, but he didn't react to it much, he had already been crying so if anything he cried a little worse. Eventually he fell asleep. Don't feel bad. We're all human, it happens, and I know we both felt bad, but they will never remember it. I have never spanked my child but I sure have yelled and raised my voice and I have lost it several times, but that boy still loves me and goes crazy if I leave his sight and always monkey cuddles me! I'm sure your lo feels the same and would never look at you different for "occasionally losing it!"

I'm having the same problem with my 2 year old!!! I feel so awful because I yelled with an extremely stern voice tonight. I cried feeling so bad to yell but he does Not listen to me at bed time. He stayed in bed for the first time but I feel I scared him. I did rub his back and hair after that. I hate being stern and feel so guilty. I show nothing but pure love to my son always and hope I didn't scar him. This mommy feels like crap😔😔

When my son did that, I'd go in and and lay him down and say it's not play time it's night time and keep him in his bed until he went back to sleep. Three nights and he didn't do it again. I didn't take him out of his room or let him play, i enforced bedtime
