Hi Again,

I had posted several times when my son first turned 1 but I'm going crazy with his the constant fight to go to sleep. He went through the 18 month wake time that someone posted about before for like a month and a half  but we got through that. Now he fights for 2+ hours at nap and at bed time. He started about 3 weeks ago at nap time so I moved nap from 11am to 2pm and moved our afternoons around some but that led to moving our bed time back to 8:30 instead of 8pm. All seem to work well for 4 days with minor fights but now he is getting uncontrollable to the point where this after noon he was hitting and kicking which led to him giving me a bloody nose. I'm starting to feel like I have lost control at these times and when dh is not at home like tonight I am at my wits ends. Any advice I have tried everything.

Have you tried sleep training, like Ferber? We had to do it at 7 mos. but I'm not sure how old is too old for that. GL!

My son, 20 months, had been having issues going to sleep over the last month.  He seems to be doing better the last week or so.  I have started doing a longer routine before naps and bed.  We read numerous books in his room (we used to just read 2) and then we rock and listen to some music before I put him in bed.  After that I just let him go until he falls asleep.  It seems to be working well so far!  We did Ferber when he was 6 months and have had no sleep issues until he hit 18 months!  Good luck!
