    Do you follow a bath bedtime routine with him?
  • mrshughes2bmrshughes2b
    yes but it just seems to wake him up more!!

    If you were to do bath etc then give him his bottle in a darkened room followed by a nice rock and a cuddle would he drift off? Does he sleep in the same room as you?

    Sorry for all the questions!

    i bath him in the bath with me, then dress him in our room with a dim light and feed im in complete darkness but he will still not sleep!!.

    And yes he does sleep in our room!!.

    It's ok to ask questions!

    How about not letting him sleep any later than 4-5 in the afternoon? that should make him really tired by the time you give him bed and bath.

    I really sympathise, Neve took ages to get the hang of going to bed and as much as you love them you just feel desperate to be on your own!
