Fighting sleep by standing up

[Kellyjs]

That sound a like a good plan. A wise BW once told me, you can only offer them sleep, it's up to them to take it!

Pop by the 2-1 support thread on top of the naps board. I found it super helpful talking to others who were in the same boat xx

I have to say, the time change for daytime savings threw our whole day out:(
He wakes up at 4:30 and goes to sleep at 6, sleeps till 8:(
It's a nightmare. He stands up, and I lay him down again and again.
I don't think he understands my invitations to lay back down yet.
I am so tired:(

Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry it's not getting better for you atm. Daylight savings throw a lot of people out.

Do you say he going back to sleep at 6am? Do you get him up at 4.30am then pd for a nap or if he awake and faffing all that time in bed? Xx

We don't get up at 6. All this time I am trying to put him down.
At first I thought It's wet diaper that wakes him up, but that's not it.
He stands up over and over, throw things out of the crib to make me come and pick it up.
Today I tried:
pick him up and hold him in my arms to make him fall asleep, but he would just squirm and wanted to sit.
Put him down in our bed, pat his back and cheek, but he would just stand up holding our headboard and play around.
I let him in his cot, he stands up this whole time and talks and screams.
I tried talking to him gently to invite him to lay down (I always do through) he didn't seem to understand me at all.
So I started a series of putting him down. He stood up, I put him down and that happened like 20+ times which I think got him even more tired and he fell asleep.
Standing up is getting worse. I think he is getting smarter each day on how to call for me and what will make me come to him.
I don't know what to do anymore...
Do I continue to put him down each time he stands up.
Do I hold him in my arms on the chair before naps and BT.
Do I pick his toys and paci up or do I just leave it.
I got lost:(
I wonder when is the time I can put him in his crib and leave the room.
I wish someone could tell me it's gona be in 1 year, 2 years... That would make me feel better:/
