I can not get my daughter on any kind of schedule 🙄 I’ve tried earlier bedtime but she fights sleep…

Are her feedings at the same time every day? Both my kids go to bed at 7:30 and wake at 7. But everything is a routine. Their bodies got used to that routine everyday so eventually it became a regular.

With both my kids i do the same thing every day same time frames. Play, dinner, bath, lotion, bed. With my daughter play, bath, lotion, and bottle, then bed.

@mamacryan13, I try to make them at the same times but she’s going through a stage or something where she doesn’t really want to eat she just wants to snack and play so it’s not really working

@momzillaof3, I do the same thing ever day but its like she doesn’t acknowledge the routine

@caseyann19, aww 🙁🙁 what if when she wakes up you can of just leave her there to see if she goes back to sleep?

@mamacryan13, I’ve tried that too. She’s very strong willed and will either scream bloody murder until I get her or she will just get out of bed and do her own thing (she has a toddler bed up against my side of the bed and the wall so she climbs on my bed and then slides off into the floor)

When is her last meal? Maybe she's still hungry...

Does she nap during the day?

@caseyann19, omg I’m sorry!! I wish I had more advice!! Maybe see a sleep doctor? Have you asked her ped anything?

@chasha2017, about an hour or so before bed... is that too long? Should I be giving her a bedtime snack?

And most of the time yeah. Sometimes she’ll take about an hour nap of the morning and then take a nap in the evening for about 1-2 hours the time varies though because she hates naps too so she only naps when she absolutely feels like it lol

@mamacryan13, I haven’t yet because I had adjusted to it and just kept telling myself it was a phase but since nothing is working I thin I’m going to have to give her ped a call and see what she says about. This momma is exhausted lol

@caseyann19, yes girl def! I think that will ease your mind and possibly help you get some sort of sleep

I had the same issue with my son. Consistency is key. Try to stick with your schedule and don't give up even if you think it's not working.

I give my son something to eat about an hour before bed. I try to give him something hearty and filling that will last thru the night like oatmeal. Next is bathtime then I lotion him with lavender scented baby lotion. They say lavender has a calming effect and helps babies sleep. After that I read him a book then give him warm milk, put him to bed and leave the room. The first few weeks he cried when I'd leave. I picked him up and held him until he fell asleep but each time I would take a little longer to get to him. Now when I put him to bed he doesn't fuss. Sometimes he doesn't go to sleep right away but after about 10 mins or so of humming and rolling around he goes to sleep.

I just reread your comment. You said she takes 2 naps. What time is her evening nap? Maybe it's too close to her bedtime and that's why she fights her sleep. Maybe you can adjust her nap schedule and cut it down to 1 nap per day.

@chasha2017, it depends sometimes she’ll fall asleep as early as 2-3 in the afternoon and sometimes she falls asleep somewhere around 5 sometimes 6 which is probably the problem but when I try to keep her awake she screams bloody murder and then just blocks me out so she can fall asleep or she ends up fighting sleep until about 11 at night 😭

@caseyann19 yeah 5/6pm is too late. Try to let her take her morning nap later and don't let her sleep too late in the evening because that's what's preventing her from sleeping at night.
