  • Every night same thing! We do our routine and then she cries for 30-45 mins until she finally goes to sleep! Why is this so difficult?!

      • op: 2.10yo. She wakes up at 8am. Plays, goes to the park, takes a nap from 1-3, plays some more. Then bedtime routine begins at 8 with 9pm bedtime

        • put her to bed earlier, maybe she's overtired? That's a late bedtime for a little one, imo.

          • op: I have tried. My God, how I have tried! She just cries for that much longer and then vomits.

            • yikes. How long did you stick w/the new earlier bedtime? maybe she just needs a few days to get used to it? Did you ask your ped?

              • op:probably didn't try long enough. Dh works late so nights are rough. Will try again and also email ped. Once she starts school in fall, she will need moe sleep certainly!

                • have you ever tried benedryl? maybe try that the first night to make it easier? It always takes my kids 3-4 days to get used to a new routine. I would stick w/it; she sounds so overtired the poor thing and poor you, I've btdt and it SUCKS.

                  • op: hate to resort to drugs bcus she is really groggy after using benadryl for medical reasons, so would hate to do it unnecessarily. Will try to get this straightened out. Thanks for the support!

        • her bedtime is probably too late. try starting the bedtime routine at 7:30, bed at 8:30, and then move to starting at 7:00, bed at 8
