I've raised three kids these are some things that worked for me.
Make sure they aren't hungry or need changed. they sleep better with full Gilmore and a dry bottom. Establish a bed time schedule/routien by doing the same thing every night they feel secure Clear all toys and distractions from sleeping area. you can let them have one special toy usually a stuffed animal to sleep. Try bathing them about half an hour good much before bed time a nice warm bath will relax them. use the lavender scented baby soap it helps :) Rock them or sit beside them while they are in bed and read to them. your voice is soothing to them. Leave on a night light . play soft music for them as they fall asleep. once you leave the room resist the urge to go back in and pick them up. no matter how much they cry. Check on them every 20 minutes to ensure they don't need changes but if they do just change them and put them directly back into bed. this will take about a week or so but if your constant it will work. good luck :) |

I feel for you. But you have to be strong and break that habit now. You are no good to your children exhausted. I have a strong willed child also, it is possible to make a routine that comforts them and lets them know it is time to sleep.
