How can I get my 1 year old to go to sleep before 1 am?
Answers:
you might want to find lavender oils and put on drop behind each ear and the aroma should make him go to sleep. also try walking around the house with him in your arms or try rocking him to sleep. also try putting him in his crib and and walking out if he starts to cry dont get him out. wait 10-15 min and if he is still crying hold him but he should cry himself to sleep. also check nap times make sure his naps are not too long and not too late in the after-noon stop naps aroun 4 p.m. if non of this helps ill do more reasarch and just ask again and ill try to help

LAY DOWN WITH HIM
TURN OFF ALL THE LIGHTS
TURN OFF THE TV
GIVE HIM A WARM BATH AROUND 8-9 TO CALM HIM (LAVENDER BATH)
GOOD LUCK Make sure you do not give him any sugar even small amounts, within 4 hours of his bed time. Do give him something to eat before bed so that his tummy is full. The hour before bedtime should be quiet time, no rough housing or rough play. Contrary to popular opinion, this does not wear them out so they sleep; rather it energizes them.
If you keep water next to his bed, have it there before you put him to bed; in a sippy cup, of course. Always maintain a routine. While his routine may not always match yours, put yours aside for 30 days. Also, and very important, make sure you and your husband both do everything the same way for consistency.
Parenting requires us all to make a lot of sacrifices, forever... but are children our worth it. (Stick a note in his baby book so that if he has this problem with his children, you can bring it to his attention that he was the same way.)
If he will let you rock him, do so in his room. Make sure the room is dark and put on a tape that is designed to help people go to sleep. They are usually called Tranquility, or make sounds like Rain, Thunderstorms, the Wind, or Ocean.
If he gets out of bed after you put him down, keep putting him down but do not talk to him; stay silent, do not get angry or show any frustration. Sit outside of his room so that as soon as he opens the door, you get him back to bed ASAP.
All children are very perceptive and great manipulators; they know how to 'yank our chains'. Don't give in; stay strong, you will prevail. What is your routine? Does everyone else go to bed at a normal hour? Is he teething?
We try to keep bed time at 9:oopm for my 21 month old. He's up by 6ish or 7:am. Nap time is usually 11:30am, no later than 1:00pm! To late of a nap will disrupt bed time later! We also take him to a local tot lot for play time before dinner. Try reading up on what foods can induce sleepiness. If he does not conk out with us downstairs, then up we go. I get the room ready like I do for nap time, dim the light, put on a sleepy time CD and turn on a small fan for white noise- like the womb. Sometimes we read or I put him in the crib with a few toys and sneak out. Sometimes he will cry for up to a 1/2 hour but by now I know the 'tired' cry.
