Sleep

Mamas HELP ME. we are at our wits end. I know it’s probably a phase but holy hell bedtime is horrible. For background we have a 2 yr old and a 1 yr old that share a room. The two year old is in a bed and the 1 year old is in a crib. About 2 weeks ago our one year old became so much more aware and playful, her brain has expanded to take in more of the world and it’s great but it has since made bedtime TERRIBLE. They will not stop playing and laughing and it starts out cute but as one hour passes and it’s 8pm I’m like okay enough. Then comes 9pm. The other night my 2 year old was up until close to 10pm and she got in bed at 7!

This has not been a problem in the past. But lately it is out of control with how late they keep each other up. Our schedules haven’t changed but no matter the day/ how well or bad their naps went during the day the nighttime is the same outcome.

We are starting to go insane and by the end of the night I am at my wits end constantly going in there and we all end the day on a frustrated note.

Mamas whose young babes share a room- how are you getting them down?! We have tried putting them both down at the same time and sitting in the room, leaving the room, letting them play until exhaustion, ignoring them, putting one down before the other and vise versa. HELP
