Is he teething hard, like 2-3 teeth at the same time? Between 5-20 months my son got all his teeth, even the molars were completely in at that point. It was tough because his sleep was a hot mess and o could determine how bad according to how many or which teeth are breaking through. Our bodies grow and repair at night so it makes sense they’re awake and in pain. He started sleeping through the night again at 22 months. Melatonin really is hit or miss but I do have that zarbees just in case

My daughter does this too like every other night it’s so frustrating . I jst let her stay awake til she falls asleep i will be sleeping while she’s awake to lol I feel like eventually she will start sleeping right

It never worked for mine 🤣

That’s normal. He’s still just a baby. I don’t recommend melatonin. Try skipping his nap during the day or try a warm bath right before bed, like someone else had suggested. He will get there with time.

No it’s totally normal my first son didn’t sleep all night until he was 3 boys tend to take longer to sleep through the nights. I would never medicate a child for sleeping issues unless they had the flu and it’s been super rough. Just wake him up early power through naps take him for walks. Get it all out of him kids are full of energy

It depends on how he spends a day. If he watch too many cartoons or play with a smartphone, and doesn't play actively, or if his day was too emotional he won't sleep well

Melatonin supplements are a synthetic hormone that can disrupt the production of natural production of melatonin. There have been no long term study on its effects on children. Does he sleep with you or near you?

I don’t think it works 🥴 I tried that with my daughter and it just made her fall asleep faster but she still woke up in the middle of the night

Its definitely a phase. My daughter is going through it. Please dont give melatonin. Try a bed time routine. Warm bath then bed. I hope you both get sleep soon.
