Is there a good or appropriate bedtime for a 13 year old? I know he should be able to start managing his time but trying to find balance with that is tough and he needs sleep!
My 2yo is having tantrums at bedtime. What is happening?
What type of responsibilities should a soon to be 8 year old have?
We went from crib to toddler bed and now bedtime is a nightmare! What do we do?
We moved my soon to be 3yo daughter to a toddler bed because she would climb out of her crib.
She was doing pretty good about not getting up when we put her to sleep but now it has become a NIGHTMARE. She will not stay in her bed when put down and she wants us to stay in the room or else she gets up and walks out of her room.
With this new resistance she literally takes two hours to fall asleep - yesterday she fell asleep at 10pm.
What should I do?
I am struggling with my children's sleep and letting them know the nanny is leaving. Helpo!
I would love some sleeping advice. My oldest child 5.5yo and my youngest 2.5yo share a room at night. They each have their own bed. They fall asleep fairly normally… book, tucked in, rub back, fall asleep, I sneak out.
Somewhere around 11:45pm-2am my youngest will call me in to put the blanket on her, or my oldest will come and get me to rub her back or snuggle. This will continue through the night.
We are also in search of a new nanny. How do we tell our children?
My soon to be 6yo daughter needs us with her in order to sleep. How do we shift this?
We are switching from crib to bed and it's not going well. Help!
We are on day 9 (feels like 900) of my sons sleep journey. We started with the book at bedtime and whenever he asked, which was often, removed his crib, set up his room and he was excited. For two nights it was perfect. He just went to sleep for naps and bedtime no issues. Then the novelty wore off for him and it sunk in.
We are going in 4-6 times a night and I am exhausted and dad is slammed with work, he needs to function; we both do. What do we do about this looooong ‘go to sleep’ time?
When my child says they're scared and won't go to bed, what's really happening?
When I put my daughter down last night we went through our typical routine but she kept asking when dad would be home from his run and when he would come kiss her goodnight. As soon as I got in the rocking chair (I sit in it until she falls asleep) she started saying "I'm scared, I'm scared" on repeat. She couldn't tell me what she was scared of just that she wanted me to lay in her bed.
My newborn doesn't seem to have a sleep rhythm. Is this normal??
We are trying to adapt to new life with two. My son is actually doing great. I wanted to ask you about my 2 month old. He has bad colic. On Monday I started him on Pepcid. He would cry for hours. Now he is doing better but we still have the witching hour from 7-10. The routine I have with him for bed is: warm bath with lavender oil then bottle and he is supposed to go to sleep but he stays awake. He goes to sleep around 10pm, wakes to eat again at 12am-1am to then wake again at 4am then 6am and then 8am. The 6am feeding is breastfed. Then he gets a bottle during the day. He eats about 4-5oz every 2-3 hours. I feel like I can’t get on any type of schedule with him. My older son, at this age, had a schedule at least to eat. My newborn is all over the place I feel. Any advice?
My 5yo is falling asleep in class... Why?
I just got a note from school saying that my 5yo son is falling asleep on his desk after lunch. He is 5, turning 6 soon. He sleeps at 8 PM, but he has always woken up between 5 and 6 AM. He gets up early, it’s always been like that. I told him to splash water on his face, but honestly don’t know if he is going to do it.
Any tips?
How do I get my child back to sleeping in her bed after multiple disruptions in routine?
We have talked about going back to their own beds like before and one of my daughters says she will do it but the other says she is not ready. My daughter, who said she will do it, doesn't want to sleep alone (without me or her sister) so we end up all sleeping together. How do I get my daughter who said she was not ready to go back to falling asleep in her own bed? I have never been strict about them coming into bed with us but just wondering how to go about getting her back into the old routine......thank you!!
My 8yo keeps waking up in the middle of the night and doesn't know why. Help!
How to proceed with my 8 year old who lately has been waking up multiple times throughout the night - 1:30am and 4am as of two weeks ago, almost every night of the week. Insomnia? She tends to be on the anxious side so I asked her if she was worried, anxious or had a nightmare, to which she replied No.
Is it ok or not for my daughter to read a book to self-sooth when she wakes up in the middle of the night/early hours?
How and when do we change the bedtime routine for our children?
How can I get my little one back on a sleep schedule after changing it?
Is it time to transition my almost 2yo from crib to bed? How should I do it?
My son tried to climb out of his crib last night, had a nightmare that woke him and would not go back down. I ended up sleeping on the floor bed that's already set up in his room with him.
I would like to move him to the floor bed as I really am worried about him being hurt in the crib. He turned two at the end of August.
