Mod note: I put this here instead of night time parenting because it is really a SID issue more than a sleep issue and I know I will get more help here. Thanks!
Dd is 20 months old and has SID, we have a lot of trouble winding her down for bedtime. Even if she is tired she has to bang her head on the wall, flop all over the place, she likes to head butt me too
: and play for at least an hour before she falls asleep. If I put her to bed an hour before bedtime sometime she does it even longer because she isn't tired yet. We just started brushing and it isn't helping much because she doesn't really like it, she only tolerates it on the bottoms of her feet.
I would try a weighted blanket except she hates blankets, she has never slept with one except as a newborn when she was swaddled. Anyone have a SID kid that hated blankets actually sleep with a weighted one?
Thanks!
