He just won't give in and stop tonight!!!

He's driving me mad that I've spent nearly 2 hours getting him to sleep and he's still not in his cot. Left OH with him now before I lose the plot

I have a glass of wine in hand!

No matter what we do the boy will not sleep before half 9 (apart from last night when it was 8 but he hadn't slept all day so actually think he just passed out!!)

Out of ideas now so may just give in at getting him to bed early. Tried bath, boob and bed

Dark room

Muslin on him so he can smell me

Seahorse music thing- sends me off to sleep :)

Rocking

Swaying

And pretty much everything else- can someone tell me how I get the batteries out please xx
 
Riven is the same tonight, only just managed to get him down now, he just didn't want to go and completely fought me.

I do find that holding him really close to me on my chest and tapping his bum lightly has worked a number of times. What sucks is he is due for a feed in about half an hour lol.....

Hope you manage to get him down soon x x x x
 
How does he nap during the day? i find if he naps well during the day he is easier to get to bed at night.
 
Funnily enough nurse he's been crap this week at napping , but today u made sure he napped every 2 hours and he had a big nap after lunch!!

His woke from his last nap at 6 (he had half hour) then at 7 we did bath and feed with the sim if him being asleep by 8 at the latest thinking that's 2 hour
But tonight he fought it all the way a d wasn't that settled when I fed him

He's asleep now finally the batteries gave way at 10pm!!
 
Stroke his face and hair? That helps t bag sometimes.

When she's really being a critter I wrap her up tight and hold her close to me and walk around. I pull her right close in so she is snuggled into my boobies and pat her bum and rock her.
 
I do the pat and shush thing - I think the white noise helps. Also does he get up later? Could be he's a 9 til 9 baby rather than 7 til 7 kinda guy??! A little night owl!!
 
i also do the stroking the face thing and it helps.

I'm glad the batteries finally ran out :)
 
I'm having the same issue, I started the bed routine at 7 and he's still not down!! He slept pretty well today too but tonight every time he's gone down he's got up again 30 mins later! He'll fa asleep on me then when I put hin to bed he kicks off, tried putting him in awake and he kicked off! Starting to think I've not enough milk xx

Harry was exactly the same at that age, i wouldnt worry about not having enough milk, its just what they do at that age! there settle down eventually, harry didnt start to settle till 10 weeks, was constantly up and feeding, couldnt put him down, hang in there.

Thanks!!! That's good to hear!! Xx
 
Yes he does generally sleep til 9ish which is fine..... Just frustrating when you know they're turd and won't give in!
 
When you know they're 'turd '??!! I know he's annoying you my love but that seems a bit harsh!! Lol
 
Ha ha!! I don't know that wasnt a bad description!!
