Please help me!!! I can't seem to get my 3 year old to sleep. It takes me 3-4 hours a night to get him to go to bed. We crawl into bed at 730pm we read for 20 mins then I leave and he is supposed to stay in bed. He gets up almost every 5 mins for 3-4 hours. We also have a new baby so I NEED TO SLEEP, but I don't get to cause I don't get into bed until 10:30 sometimes. I never let him get up and come into bed with me. I am sooo consistant with bedtime, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but I know I am doing something or else it wouldn't be so difficult. He gets up I don't say a word I just put him back in bed, but it's not working!! I have considered his diet and exercise. He has completely NO sugar caffine ect. We are an organic family so I know he is eating healthy. We are also a very active family so I am not sure if the problem lies there. I considered not giving him a midday nap, however, when I do that he ends up crashing at 3pm and sleeps for a while then it meeses up bedtime even more. Maybe I need to only let hims sleep for a certain amount of time during the day? I am not sure but there is a problem somewhere!! PLease help!!!! I WANT AND NEED TO SLEEP!!!!!!!! Thank you!!
