Presciption drugs are hard to give for this child. Looking for liquid or chewables to give easily. Looking for anything but medicine. This child has a bedtime but lays in bed and mimics everyone til asleep really late. Herbal? No specific Diet. Sugar doesnt play a part in it.
The best way to get your son to sleep at night is to tire him out during the day. If he takes more than one nap, cut back to one nap per day. If he only takes one nap, shorten the amount of time he naps. It is also good to have a bedtime routine. Make sure the routine is something he can associate with bedtime.
I have a two year old that does not like to sleep for fear of missing out on something. We developed a bedtime routine that begins with bath time. I give him a few minutes to play in the water before I bathe him. I bathe him with lavendar baby bath and afterwards I rub him down with lavendar scented baby lotion. (Lavendar is known to be soothing and comforting which why I chose a scented baby wash and baby lotion.) After bath time he tells his older brother and his father goodnight. We then go to his bedroom to sit in our rocking chair and rock while he sips on a cup of warm milk and I read him a story.
This routine works VERY well for my son and I. You know your child so it will be easy for you to find a routine that works for the two of you.
