Hello. For the past few nights my 11 month old does not want to settle to sleep. Instead plays in his crib, throwing toys out, talking sometimes yelling out, standing, stomping around for a good 30-45 minutes before he finally falls asleep. Sometimes I have to go in to put his toys back in and try to settle him. I have no problem with possibly moving his bedtime later, however we have tried that and he will still play and stay up EVEN LATER. The kicker is that now he is waking up earlier than normal.
Here is the routine he was on, up until the past week or so...
6:30AM-Wake and play in crib
7:00AM-Bottle
8:00AM-Breakfast
9:15AM-Nap (45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours)
Noon-Lunch
1:30-Nap (45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours)
4:00PM-snack
5:00PM-Dinner
6:30PM-Bath, Bottle, Bed by 7PM
Usually asleep by 7:15PM
Now he is not asleep till 8PM sometimes later, and he is awake by 6AM.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Or am I overreacting, which I tend to do!
