Struggles at bedtime
My 7 month old sleeps pretty well but it’s the getting ready for bed he is a nightmare! He just screams! I literally do two hour wake window before bed or he will be going bed to early (he goes at 6) but come 530 when I run his bath and get him ready etc he just screams the house down!!! My hubby works away a lot so I’m doing it alone and I struggle it brings back his colic days and my post natal whenever he screams. I understand he’s tired but I need to run bath & put him down etc and he just wants to be held when he’s so tired. Any suggestions? Probably nothing can be done just needed to rant I guess. It really triggers me hearing him scream ;(
Ps we do the bath because it calms him down otherwise he be going bed at 5 loool and I’m not ready for 5am wakeups!

Have yoh tried a later nap in the late afternoon ? I know some people call this a danger nap but this worked for my little girl letting her nap from 4ish till 5pm then having tea and a play before bath and bed and she seams so go down okay at about 7/7:30 xx
I was reading somewhere that when they get “older” bath becomes an exciting play so maybe you can try and skip the bath and see how it goes? I never do the bath before bedtime because he loves it so much that taking him out is a tragedy - so I tend to do it during the morning/early afternoon

Could you maybe try and give me a little nap closer to bed time. Or move his last nap closer to the bed time so he isn’t becoming possibly over tired?
