14month old not sleeping

Any tips given I will happily take! My son has been such a terrible sleeper since he was 6 months old, he still wakes 2/3 times at night it’s got to bad we brought his cotbed back into our room and sometimes co sleep which we hate doing. We have a set routine and make sure he doesn’t sleep after half 3 so he can go down at 7/8, but he’s always up and down all night and I have no idea why we are literally exhausted. Any one have any ideas on how to make nights better or anything I can try.

this may sound crazy but have you got the capacity to take him to the park before or after dinner? see if you can get him to use some energy and exhaust him before bedtime

Honestly no I’ve not done that I usually let him crawl about and just play with him in the house, I’ll try that tonight and see if it helps x

My son is the same . He is 14 months and we didn’t really sleep train him . He was sleeping 12 hrs From 3 months to 6 months . Then after 6 months he wakes up 2/3 times at night . Usually sleeps at 7:30 and comes to our bed sharp at 11:30! Even after he wakes few times but just have to pat him back to sleep most of the time .

I’d say you may need to extend your wake window. Waking at 330 and going to bed at 7 isn’t a lot of awake time before bed. My boy went 6-7 hours at that age before bed. 2-3 wakes is very normal for their age though! My 17 month old is waking hourly atm and has always been a terrible sleeper x
