I have an 8 and a half month old. he sleeps in my bed. he was sick last week so his schedule was all messed up...now he wont go to sleep before 1 or 130 every night. I am exhausted!!! ? We give him a bath before, read a book, quiet room..Im running out of ideas and Im not going to let him cry.Any suggestions?

did he have a schedule before he got sick? How did you put him to sleep before? Usually what is recommended in order to get a child to sleep on the schedule that you would like is to put him to bed 15 min. or 1/2 hr bef. the time that he falls asleep now, and slowly keep on putting him to sleep another 15 min. to 1/2 hour before etc. till you reach your desired time.

Maybe he sleeps too much during the day? Takes a nap too close to his bedtime?
If he wakes up late in the morning or afternoon wake him up earlier - at the same time every day.
