Any tricks for fighting sleep?

Question

My little man is going through a major fighting sleep phase, especially for naps. He will be so tired and do everything he can to stay awake, while fussing (not crying) the whole time. I try rocking him, nursing him, white noise, lullabies, etc and usually just have to let him fuss until he finally falls asleep. Any tricks for this that you mommas have? Thanks!

Answer

Maybe it’s time to lengthen the wake window? My daughter started doing that and as soon as I lengthened her wake windows to 2/2/2/2.5 she started going right back to sleep within minutes.

Answer

My son will pull his dummy out, hit himself on the head constantly or pull his hair everytime he starts to fall asllep. Yesterday i let him cry in cot for 10 mins whilst i was sorting out his brother. I cuddled him until calm kissed him, put him back down & stroked his hair, he was asleep in 5 mins!!
He used to really fight bed times but i refuse to pick him up. I'll sing, pat his bum (belly sleeper) stroke his hair but wont pick him up. Its becoming less of a battle everynight
