1 year old not sleeping.

I forgot what it was like not to have a child sleeping. My eldest did this when he first turned 1 and I can't for the life of me remember what I did to get him to go to sleep but this at the moment is driving me crazy all he want's to do is cry and scream because he's tired and cranky but refuses to go to sleep it's doing my head in.
Any advice is welcome.

A walk in the stroller, car ride, bath and book, warm milk, relaxing music, night light?

I did the car ride last night and it worked but he woke a couple of hours later and I had some real trouble getting him back to sleep, I would take him for a walk but it's 40 degrees outside   But will try with the others thank you.

Sorry   I thought I would give you some of the things I've tried hoping it'll work for you.. Doesn't for me. Lol we are in the same boat. It doesn't work at night but for nap time I put my lo (18 months) in the crib with a newish teddy she doesn't really see much.. She plays around with it and puts herself out. I got nothing for night though. Good luck

Thanks heaps will try that. I have a really cranky little man at the moment and I'm just about at the end of my rope. I really hate to see him upset or hear him cry but he wont go to sleep in my arms or in his cot and the lack of sleep I have had over the last week is now started to get me down so teary. yuk. Hope you have some success with your baby sleeping.

I've been there mama. It's also the age. He still needs lots of sleep so gets overtired easy I assume. My dd was the same at 1 yr. it's still tough but as she's got older she runs better on less sleep and not quite as cranky. Hugs.

Thanks for this. My son is very busy and is walking everywhere and he's probably getting very overtired and quickly. Maybe I need to watch his tired ques more and see how that goes.
