Hi there,

My bub is now 15 months. He usually had a grizzly patch in the later afternoon when he was less than 6 months old. It settled down quite a bit when his sleep routine formed. He is again have grizzles in the very late afternoon and I'm not sure what to do. He is currently having at least 1 sleep a day which is usually about 10.03am-ish. I then try and put him down at about 4pm (I know this is late for some but it seems to have worked until now) and until this point it was a good time for my bub. Now he struggles to go to sleep at 4pm and after about 30 mins of going in and trying to resettle and sometimes trying to lay down with him we give up on sleep. I'm pretty sure he is tired because he is grizzly but I can't get him to sleep. I then have a baby who can pretty much cry for at least 45 mins and I feel a bit beside myself as I don't know what to do with him, or help him settle. It's also difficult to get the dinner etc happening.

Is this a common thing for babies of this age? Do you have some things you can share that I could try for a grizzly and tired baby even when he doesn't sleep?
