HELP, Son never sleeps through the night...
I have a 19 month old son and he has never been a good sleeper. Been doing the same routine since he was 6 months. He wakes up at different times a day and goes to sleep different times even though I do his usual routine. So example wakes up at 10am has cereal and water, then 2 hours later snack fruit then at 2pm he has lunch then 2 hours later another snack then 6pm dinner and 7pm bath, bottle of milk at 8pm and should go to bed but can stay awake with energy till 11pm he just won't go to sleep. He hates when I leave the room he makes himself sick so I can Come back in the room, can sometimes sleep on his own but not always, he had sometime has one nap from 30min to an hour or no nap at all. Wakes up sometimes 3 times a night because he is hungry. I work part time so I wake him up different times because I work different times a day. Can anyone please suggest anything I can do? Would love him to sleep through the night so I can get my sleep back. Please HELP X

Sounds like by the end of the day he is over tired. When my Dd is over tired She gets a ridiculous amount of annoying energy at bed time and will fight sleep. I recommend at least an hour nap during the day. My Dd takes 2. 1.5 hours each. And sleeps roughly 10hour per night (not straight, she still wakes up too) So that's about 13/24 hours of sleep. Also I'd try feeding more during the day. Especially if he doesn't go to bed til 11pm. Dinner should be his biggest meal I guess. Good luck

Holy crap, I could have written this post myself!! Do we have the same kid? Lol!! It's driving me crazy. I have tried getting him up earlier, tried getting him to nap. But the same thing, if I leave him to CIO, he will make himself physically ill from crying. I've tried the proper CIO way, no luck. I'm at a loss as well ?

My lo was a terrible sleeper until probably he hit 14 months . Out of nowhere he just starting sleeping better but now I realized giving him a warm bottle of milk nd reading a book or two before bed really gives him a good nights rest ..he was falling asleep as late as 11:30/12 and still waking up in the night ( we still bed share ) sometimes but now with wat I'm doing he can fall asleep at 9:30 10:00 for the night nd I'm satisfied with that .

At this stage they need 12hrs at night and 1-2hr nap during the day. If you're child is not getting up until 10am then he will not be ready to settle at 8pm. His body clock will expect a bed time of 10pm. Where does he sleep? My little boy gets up around 7am and goes to bed at 7pm. Some evenings it might take him a little longer to settle but would generally be asleep by 7.30. We do need to go back into his room a couple of times if he's not settling.

Hopefully he'll sleep straight through the night soon. My son will sometimes sleep through the night without getting up. Other times he'll wake up to move next to me and then go back to sleep.
