Can i get more info on sleepy time tea what brand?
Melatonin is definitely not a good idea. Developing a dependency will not help his sleep skills develop naturally. Waking up in the middle of the night is very developmentally normal at this age. My nephew always slept through the night since he was a newborn, but started waking up and walking around at 3years old. Can you change the bed situation in his room so that one of you can lay with him to fall back to sleep when he wakes if you dont want him in your bed? If his sleep is truly restless throughout the night with many wake ups and tossing and turning, granted he’s getting enough activity in the day, I would explore any medical red flags like low ferritin. I love heysleepybaby on instagram for sleep support ideas 🫶🏽
Don’t do melatonin. Try sleepy time tea I do the vanilla one or try tart cherry juice. Cut tv off 2 hours before bed and go for a walk let him run around, jump, and climb. That’s what I do with my son and it helps we co-sleep and we still have rough nights where he will wake up and scream and cry for hours we just let it pass then he is right back to bed
