That's all we can ever do! Strict bedtime routine, calmness and persistence. My daughter has only just started being consistently good at bedtime and through the night at 2 years old. They're not babies forever!
Hi Shaune Have you tried putting on relaxing music or making the room darker and putting a night light on that sometimes helps. The other thing that I have found useful is to to make a strict bedtime ritual. For example having quiet time before bedtime no TV or computer games and just bath time, story sleep or try winding down about an hour before bed and just doing quiet activities it is a tough time it is is just a matter of working it out. Good luck with it Helen

This is such great advice! We also give our baby honey milk, and she loves chamomile tea, it relaxes her, and she falls asleep faster.
Getting our kids to sleep through the night will always be a work in progress! I have a 4 year old that recently became scared of the dark and he will occasionally wake up in the middle of the night. A night light and white noise helps us, as well as a consistent bed time routine.
