How to put one year old to sleep?

Question

My little one refused to sleep unless the whole world stops. When I put him in his crib, he cries until he throws up or coughing non stop. Mommy, daddy and even his older sister have to pretend sleeping in the big bed with him. He then start to play only in the bed and later falls to sleep.

Answer 1

Yea, that sounds about right.  I think just close the door, turn off the television, put on some relaxing music and just rub his head and back while talking softly will do it.  Sometimes you do have to lay there for a few minutes with them. My daughter's 2 and I have to sing her to sleep most of the time, or lay down and cuddle with her.

Answer 2

You just have to go in and comfort him to sleep. If he cries give him a minute then go in and put him back down. Don't just let him cry himself to sleep that is cruel.

What time are you ttrying to put him to bed?

Maybe is over tired?

Have you tried giving him a warm bath RIGHT before bed, lotion him up, and stick him in warm PJ's and then put him to watch TV?  I can get my kids to sleep around 7:30 with that routine (bedtime is usually 8 anyway for a good night's sleep)

Is there a TV in his room where he can go to sleep watching it? (It's not really going to hurt him, those are all myths. Plus you can turn it off after he falls asleep)
