Maybe he's getting over tired? 12-7.30/8pm is a long time to go. Could try slightly earlier... Mine go to bed about 7. But if they've had a tiring day & are getting ratty I have sent them 6.30pm lol

@laurabump27 I mean I can't say anything really, because Brody's always had a 8:30-9ish bedtime for this reason. He just got stressed and played up more when we tried to get him earlier and kept himself awake till that time then fell asleep. So we just assumed that was his natural bedtime. He's never done early mornings always got up around 9am/10am so he's getting enough sleep.
Now he's older and doing more he's taking himself to bed earlier and getting up earlier.

Now Max is in a bed he can take longer to fall asleep. But as long as he's happy I leave him to it. He has books and a doodle pad he likes to play with. If I kept going in he'd just think it was a game. Now once he's tired he lays himself down and goes off much quicker. I definitely believe an earlier bedtime helps sometimes. They may not seem tired but actually they often benefit from it. But their all different.

You could try an earlier tea. I don't have a really strict routine. But tea at 5, bath 6. Stories and bed at 7. Some days it can be earlier, some later. Depends on their mood!

@beffgoude Yeah.. like sometimes he laughs... And I feel awful coz i end up getting annoyed and shouting "no" because I'm tired too and when its going on two hours I'm starting to wear thin.

He's nodded off now but I feel like we fall out every night:(
He goes to bed all is good then he just plays up for two hours atleast :( xx

Does he like try and get your attention to keep himself awake, is talking? being naughty etc?. Ive always had to literally ignore Brody just to get him to sleep, no talking eye contact etx. Min I show no interest he realises he ain't winning and goes to sleep.

Try turning the tv off and have quiet time in his room. Maybe a warm bath before bed and then his bottle and a book. X

What time is his last nap & what time is he going to bed? I've had to shorten Max's day nap because he was taking ages to go in the evening. I also like him up no later than 2.30/3pm latest! Lol
