This is my son Abel, and he sleeps terrible at night. Abel is 8months old and is very curious about everything. And because of that curiosity he refuses to sleep because he's afraid he'll miss something new. He does take 2naps a day(about and hour to an hour and a half). Yet being so curious makes him incredibly cranky late afternoon till bed time. However he's waking up ever two hours and needs his mom or a bottle...and won't sleep till he gets it. I put him to bed on a full tummy, changed diaper, and good room temperatures. It's always a dark room with just a white noise maker. He shares a room with my husband and I. When bedtime comes I literally have to work some magic and rock him to sleep. But until the moment he opens his eyes to the second he goes to bed he's wild but cranky(around nap time and then late afternoon). So energetic and mostly happy. And when bedtime hits he will give me the hardest time, before passing out. And then he's up ever two hours. Are there any tips as to how I can help him sleep so he's not cranky like this!
