Hi I have a 9 month old (almost 10) & I have so much trouble getting her to sleep. Does anyone have any advice? She's very energetic and she starts to scream and squirm when I try to lay her down or rock her to sleep. Sometimes I'm scared she has adhd or something. I have no clue. I'm a new mom living wo the help of my mom or mother in law. That's why I downloaded this app lol

It’s totally normal for them to have so much energy!! My son has lots of energy from the moment he wakes up to the moment it’s bedtime or nap time.

I hope I dont sound like a jerk for asking but: do you have a bedtime/laying down time routine? My daughter was an absolute nightmare to get to sleep for the longest time. It helped us to walk around the house together and close blinds/turn off lights before laying down. It was some calm cuddle time that she could participate in. Then we got to cuddle for 20-30 minutes. If she got squirmy I just calmly repositioned her and tried again. Then she got to lay down on her own. I didnt do a full on cry it out, but did let her crytfuss for 10 mins before going to check on her. When I did I didnt talk to her. Made sure she wasn't thirsty/hungry, made sure she was dry, etc. Rubbed her back and sang a song and tried again. It took about 2 weeks, but eventually shes gotten a lot better.

I always put my son to sleep at 7:30 no matter what. It’s probably a good idea to have a bedtime set. Also, this might sound crazy and it may just be an Asian thing but my son will fall right to sleep when I play the sandstorm sounds from the tv? I don’t know what it’s called lol but I’ll put the link below💕

Totally normal. Set bedtime and routine helps. We have a set bed time routine. We tweak it as needed. Depending on baby's current routine will depend on how to proceed. My son, got to a point where he would struggle to even lay down. We left and he prefers to put himself down without us. He would get super silly just before lights or just after and we just needed to go. He went from a baby who liked to be cuddled under me to being a toddler who wanted his space. My daugther prefers to have me by her side but not cuddling unless she is sick. She gets super silly and wiggling if she is over tired.

My daughters the same age and doing the same thing. Probably going through the 9 month sleep regression
