So we have a problem that Shay is sooooo overtired. I think he is having a growth spurt, he has got taller and is saying so much more etc.
This is his normal day very roughly:
6.30am wakes up, says he is still tired. Breakfast. Play.
12.00 lunch.
1pm nap
3pm wakes up says he is still tired.
6pm dinner, play
7.30 bed.
The problem is he won't let us leave him to go to sleep, we have to stay in the room again. If we don't he doesn't go to sleep til about 9.30. But all through the day he keeps saying 'Shay tired' and doing what he does when he is tired (stroking his nipple!)
Is there anyway I can break the cycle so he isn't so tired. He still needs his nap, if he doesn't get it he falls asleep at about 4.30 and can't be woken for anything, like we had yesterday. Or if he only has a short one he falls asleep again as above. Then we are totally thrown with bedtime. So not quite sure what to do. Is it just a faze cos of the growth spurt, or will it be an ongoing problem?
TIA
