Fighting bedtime
Is anyone else’s LO fighting bedtime? For the past 5 days my daughter has been going down for her nap with no problem and falling asleep in 5-10 minutes but at bedtime she’s up in her room for 2+ hours before she falls asleep, she’s not complaining but she talks to herself, looks at books, bounces around her bed, last night she figured out how to open her closet doors and took a bunch of stuff out and was playing with it. I go back in after about an hour before I go to bed and put her back to bed following the same routine my husband does when he puts her down, lay down with binkys and bunny, sound machine on and kiss goodnight. Aft that she usually stays in bed but will be awake for at least another hour. We have tried an essential oil sleep spray and magnesium lotion. I don’t know if I should drop her nap completely, but she is tired at nap time and I’m 6 weeks pregnant and I am not ready for her to not nap at all because it’s my down time. Her usual schedule is awake at 8 am, down for nap around 1-2pm for 1 1/2-2 hours, bed around 8:15/8:30. Last night she was up until after 11 and slept until almost 9:30 this morning after waking for a few minutes at 7:30, she napped 2-4, and is still wide awake at 9:45. She was tired when my husband put her down but as soon as he left the room she got a burst of energy. Is anyone else struggling with this?
