I know I know you all are probably getting sick of sleep threads, but I just can't take this anymore. For the past 2 weeks Colin wont go to sleep at the earliest 11 pm at night. We haven't changed a thing at all in his routine but for some reason it's been a battle to get him down. I know it's our own fault he wont go to sleep on his own as we've always fed him to sleep, but not even that isn't working very well. Our routine is bath, bottle then bed at around 8-8:30 every night. Now when we try this he just fights sleep by pushing against us and trying to squirm out of our arms. We go through this every night lately for about 2 - 3 hrs before he finally goes to sleep out of exhaustion.
I've tried leaving him for a few minutes to see if he will sort himself out but he gets even more frantic. I wanted to try pick up put down but I'm not sure this will work as everytime I put him down he just ends up standing back up again.
I'm so beyond frustrated right now If anyone has any suggestions please share as I have no idea what to do. I feel like such a shit mom right now.
