Stalling at bedtime

[Chloevalentine]

We are going through a phase at night before bed when we normally read a few books then into crib. The past few nights lo starts screaming for one more book. Total meltdown. Any suggestions?

A few factors seemed to contribute to that sort of thing here.
He may be at the stage where he isn't as tired as he used to be or more tired & needs a longer wind down & so a longer reading time may be needed. It could also be that he is really liking the type of connection that the book time gives so maybe more of it is needed in the day time as it is something that "fills his Mummy cup"

Sometimes these things are hiccups & right themselves sometimes they are a cue that there needs to be a bit of a change in the routines eg I found that there was a point where the bath was better before meals because it dragged on & hyped them up.

Hun following on from your Other thread it's because he's UT. I think you do need to look at putting down at 8.30 or as Katherine suggested cutting the nap to a half hour
