Does anyone have this problem? Ever since my baby was born I've always rocked him to sleep and it's been so easy to get him to sleep but now he wants to put himself to sleep. And it's making it hard because he gets frustrated so he climbs in and out of my arms, he doesnt know how to get comfortable, he screams, and sometimes start to try to play even tho hes really sleepy and then eventually when he cant fight it anymore I end up rocking him after all of that. Idk what to do now. It takes like almost an hr for him to go to sleep now because I know hes wanting to try to put himself to sleep. Rocking him took 15 mins max before so of course I'm a bit frustrated.

My son was like that , now I just have him lay with me in my room with the lights off n just stay quiet until hes asleep , hes like that he likes to think hes going to sleep on his own but still wants me next to him so he knows I give him his sippy and he lays next to me but on his own pillow and has his blanket n he goes to sleep on his own but if I move before hes alseep hell get up

@aussiexjane Even though he is a baby, he is growing up. Changing with the age could help. If he is over the formula you could try some milk or juice type of thing. It could just be a phase, too.

@gorgeousmay42217 we have been on a routine should I try to switch something up? He has dinner & then a bath & we read our little book & then I would rock him to sleep & by 9 hes all the way sleep. Lately hes over the formula so when I try to give him a bottle he just spits it out.

A routine is helpful, also could try a little later, if he is getting sleepy you could give him some warm milk etc. to help the sleepiness quicker. If he can't get comfortable in your arms, he may be getting big and him laying down by himself with you next to him would give him more room, or even laying on your lap and you rubbing his head.

It's hard, gotta unwind first. You can even just close the door, put some music on and sleep yourself. He may copy you. Sometimes I ignore my son and I'll look over and he's asleep lol

If He has a special blankie or toy, let him have that to fidget with. Maybe start a new routine of quiet time and book or two. Then lights out and singing while rubbing his back. Works for my son most times.
