    He was like clockwork. Banana at 6:15, bath then bed. Now he won't settle and cries when you leave him after his story. Last few nights he hasn't settled until 9pm.

    Can't understand what's changed?

    Heading towards clock change, mine always got a bit unsettled then. Stay calm, he'll start settling again.

    Had he got a night light? I used to leave the bedroom door open a bit too so the light came in from the landing.

    Was thinking more of "I believe in a thing called love" at full belt.

    He's growing up, becoming more aware. Most important thing is that you remain patient and calm, stressful though it is.
    (Not for one minute suggesting you don't)

    If these buggers are in the house, there's no wonder the poor kid can't settle down..

    How old is he now? Let him stay up a bit longer, but don't overdo it. Also, don't over analyse things. What will be will be :)

    Try letting him stay up a bit longer then mate. They are like sponges at that age, constantly taking everything in and becoming more aware of their surroundings

    Yeah we plug it on landing opposite cott and he's got two light up musical bears that play soothing lullaby's. I usually read to him put his polar bear on and have a shower and get my work gear ready. When I'm done he's usually asleep.
    It's bothering Laura more than me to be honest. She says I've got it easy going to work. It's stressing her out. I tend to be calmer but I'm soft with him because I see less of him.

    We used to let him stay up until after In the Night Garden but the health visitor said we were leaving too long a gap between his naps mate. He had sleep regression. I thought we were over that. I'm gunna take over more of routine because it's stressing Laura.

    That's fine mate, but please let Laura know not to get stressed about it. For instance, does everyone go to bed at the same time every night and sleep the same amount? The answer is no, they don't. I know he's young, but if he's sleeping during the day, then there isn't much of a problem.

    We always used the law of diminishing returns when the kids were little. You visit them when they first cry and then leave. If they are still crying return after one minute, then two minutes, four minutes, 8 minutes, 16 minutes etc. Stop returning when they are fast on. Never got beyond 16 minutes. Usually quietened after 8 minutes.

    Dare I admit it but I once came very close to loosing it completely with a crying/whinging/driving me fkn mad baby. Fortunately I put said baby on the floor and walked out of the room and let things calm down - we both survived to tell the tale - just!

    I empathsie.

    Guess G. cries because he knows that when he cries you'll go back to him. You have two choices either leave him and let him cry or lie on the bed with him until he falls asleep. I think I'd lie with him until he - or you - drop off.

    We turned the tv off after cbeebies. Then made a game of tidying up his playroom. Laura took him up and bathed him. I came up and read him a story. He cried for me to give him the book but I kept reading. Eventually he stopped crying and went to sleep before I got to the end of Thomas and Berties Chase. Asleep for 7:50. Cheers for the advice. :)
