How To Make A Child Sleep Early In The Night When His Bio Clock Seems To Have Changed All Of A Sudden?

hi, my son is 14 months old and he slept through the night right up until the day he turned 6 months old, since then he won't go to bed til 2-3am and wakes up at 7-8am, I've tried everything the health visitors advised and when i turned to my doctor for help, she said to just 'ride it out'. im exhausted and short tempered and that's rubbing off on my son. im a single parent and desperate for help.

Greetings of the day


The fact is infants and childen have their own sleep rythm which can alter when weaning diet is started at time of 4- 6 months.
We adults have to get used to their sleep pattern. There is no point in removing the frustration on a infant who is not capable of self care.
Rest be assured everything is fine
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Wishing you happy and healthy life

Take Care
