almost 18m sleeping habits

my son will be 18 months old on the 19th.....since he was like 13 months e would go to sleep quietly or only cry for like 5 min when i laid him down he would be changed all of his buddies in the bed wit him has is sippy of milk annd has night light and lullabyes going. all the last like 2 wks he will just cry and cry and throw everyting out of his crib idk y he is obviously tired and refuses to go to bed with me rocking or holdibg him or sleeping with me and dh. i am 22 wks and i feel bad for putting him in his bed and leaving him to cry like im deserting him....help any suggestions? he knows bed time is 8:30-9:30 at the latest
i let him cry it out but i do feel bad   help

Maybe he hates being in a crib now?

Maybe he is going through a growth spurt?

I know you're pregnant. Pregnancy makes you tired and.could be making you get impatient with him.

Maybe make his bedtime earlier so he doesn't get overtired and make him get like that.

Have you thought about getting him a toddler bed?

he doesnt try and climb out of it at all and if we got him a toddler bed he wouldnt stay in it he would be playing with all the stuff he shouldnt be in his room

im hoping he is going threw a growth spurt and just a phase cuz once he stops crying he will lay down and go to sleep and sleeps from like 9pm-8am

My lo sleeps about that long in one nap too.. Seems like its justine age mama.l, remember this will pass and a routine will come back soon  

ah ha! i think i found a solution or at least a temporary solution i let elliott take a lil toy to bed with him for nap time (besides his usual stuffed animals he always has in there) so he picked a lil windup potato head.....he whinned for a sec when i walked out of his room and tats it!! i havent heard a peep for like 15 min so i thinking he just had quite playtime with it wile drinking his milk.
idk if its bad to let them have toys in his crib but w.e. he has stuffed animals and blankets and a pillow so w.e.
any ways thought i'd share since you have the same problem
