Does Anyone elses LO scream when overtired?

Sometimes I really struggle to get Toby to sleep during the day he really fights it and ends up getting cranky and really crying. Its really beginning to stress me out its worse if we are at home he is fine in the car etc but I cant just take him out in the car to get him to sleep. I am beginning to dread these times!!!!

same! it's gotten better as I have gotten more used to Hannah's tired signals but if I ever ignore them there is hell to pay

Rileys exactly the same when over tired i try and put him 2 bed just before that stage so he talks to himself then falls asleep with no worrys

oh yes, my LO is the same too. I have to really get him to sleep before that stage - i've worked out that during the day it's best to try and get him to nap after 1.5 hours of being awake or atleast look out for the signs then. I've got a 1.5 hour routine (ish) going which i really stick to in the morning or he gets grumpy. He got himself into this routine, or rather I notivced it when spotting his grumpy times! Once I worked his clock out the day got a lot easier. The afternoon is more flexible for us:

wake up
1.5 hours after waking = nap.
wake up.
1.5 hours after waking = go for walk for 1 hour (baby naps)
wake up.
1.5 hours after waking = nap.
wake up.
2 hours later nap.
wake up. keep baby awake till bedtime.

The only time he stays awake longer is in the afternoon - I try and keep him awake and active for 3 hours ish before bedtime (I dstract his grumps then by having a bath an hour before bedtime)

I started putting him to bed much earlier about 3 weeks ago and its so much easier now. He still grumbles but not nearly as much.

Damien's the same way! You'd swear we were skinning him alive some night because he screams bloody murder! He refuses to sleep during the day and will even fight it at night. I swear he doesn't like to sleep ever *LOL*
