in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months
My 15 mo old has been really giving me a hard time with going to bed lately. Screams when I put him in crib. Think hes having night time anxiety. Tried laying on floor next to him. Sleeps w nightlight and sound machine. What do I do? Cry it out is not working for him. I have another baby due in Nov and need my rest.

    When my DD was that age, she went through two months like that.  She wasn't really fussing to go to sleep, just was still wakeful at her normal bedtime.  Once I stopped watching the clock, and started reading her cues, she'd stay up half hour to 45 minutes later than normal, but she'd go down easily at that time. If it makes you feel any better, at 19 months, she's totally back to a normal bedtime and doesn't fight it at all anymore.
