going crazy - 2 yr old sleep
DS 2 yr going thru terrible twos, but this is insane.
He resists sleep so much that he is exhausted, cranky and terrible. This has been happening for for more than a year now, but then i dint have another baby to look after also.
Even if I get him to his bed on time, he will roll, and twist, and then ask me something (which i ignore), and eventually takes about 45min-1hr (on mad nights more) to sleep.
Even after having a morning out and playing in the humid evening outside, he takes time to sleep.
For instance, last thu he had 10hrs (2hr nap) of sleep in 24hrs.. again friday he had 10hrs of sleep, and now today he is so cranky, exhausted, but i had to battle him to take a nap today, which he slept only for 2 hrs. He has atleast 4-6hrs of sleep to catch up on.
Whatever time he sleeps at night, he wakes at dot 6:15 in the morning. This is with blackouts on the window.
DH and I alternate putting him to bed cos its just too much for me, but when DH puts him to sleep its a screaming session. He wants me only.
We r just at the end of our thether. Just want him to sleep atleast 12-13hrs per 24hrs, which i think is how much a 2yr old shud sleep anyways!
How on earth can i get this child to sleep enough? He doesnt sleep if he is tired, he doesnt sleep if he is over tired.
He;s like this energizer bunny.. keeps going on and on and on...
PLs help wise ladies of EW.. i am counting on you.
