I hate bedtime. It’s just impossible. We used to put him in his cot and walk away. What happened. Now I’ve to sit in his…

Yeah I give mine either a hot chocolate or a Horlicks before bed , an it always seems to get them in a dozy mood so I take them to bed but a cartoon on for them in there room an there always gone in about 30 mins, xx

Might have to give that a go @michellelouise862, he would love that. Might try the slightly later bedtime too. Thanks

Aww bless him, hopefully it will start getting better for you soon duck, maybe try a Horlicks or a hot chocolate in a bottle before bed I find that helps mine sleep better as well xx

Aww I know the feeling all to well Hun, did he sleep any better for you last night ? Xx

I've had many nights where I've been that exhausted trying to get them to sleep that I'd sit an cry , I also used to let mine fall asleep downstairs watching a cartoon an then carry them up to bed an they'd sleep all through, I find what ever is easiest do it, I've got 4 an 30 weeks pregnant with my 5th so I know all to well about it, x

Thanks @michellelouise862, I hope so. It started he was about 18months.

I can remember this stage it was so hard and tiring, it will get better , just bare with it , I think it's just phases they go through x

I slowly moved out the room with my lo, then id sit outside his door then I managed to go sit in my room, I could still see him down the hall if he got up. And now I can go down stairs! Takes a little while but I found this way he didn't become so distressed as we did the cio and he would make himself sick and stop breathing 🤦‍♀️

Think there is a thing you can search think it's called the disappearing chair which slowly moves you out the room xx

Nothing against cio as I used it when he was younger and it work then x

Yeah I’m thinking we’re gonna have to give it a serious go. He gets so worked up sometimes he then can’t calm down.

We had to do the cry it out method. Not very nice but works! Xx
