My son is 2 years old in a couple of weeks and he always struggles to sleep at bedtime. When he was younger we had him in a routine, bath, milk and bed by 7pm/7.30pm. But then I had to go back to work and my MIL puts him to bed every other week and she always put him down late (around 8/8.30pm) and it got to the point where my son got into the habit of going to bed at this time so he was never tired at 7pm. Now she tries to put him down even later! Around 9pm sometimes even past that. So now when I try putting him down at 8pm he just kicks about for about an hour if not longer. He usually wakes at 6/7. Has a nap between 11-2pm and then we try and out him down for bedtime at 8. I've even started reading him a bedtime story to see if that helps but that doesn't work either🙄
