Bedtime battle with my son 不爱睡觉的宝宝

Sounds familiar? I believe​ most of the parents struggle with the​ same situation every single night.

很耳熟能详对吧？我相信大多数身为父母的几乎每一晚都被同一个问题困扰着。

I understand that this is normal toddler behavior​. But ​to make my son lie down and goes to sleep at night is something challenging for us. When he takes a long​ nap in the evening, he will take a long time to fall asleep in the night. He gets up, again and again,​ no matter how many times we put him to bed.

有些宝宝很容易哄着哄着就入睡，有些则相反。是正常的我也理解。但是要哄我家的小朋友真的可不简单。他有着的精力不是盖的。每个晚上都让我们哄得我们自己累倒。若有些天他睡了比较长时间得午觉，那天的晚上就有好戏了！无论我们尝试多少次把他抱到床上哄他睡觉，他还是一而再再而三的起身蹦蹦跳跳嘻嘻哈哈，就是不愿意乖乖入睡。因为睡眠对这么小正在发育成长的宝宝来说真的实在太重要了，所以我都一直在坚持。但好像都是我天天在输的情况。

We tried to create a consistent routine for him, helped to set his biological clock, let him goes to bed around 8.30pm​, he used to sleep around 9pm-9.30pm​. But lately, he changes​​ again. He rubs his eyes and yawns​ repeatedly. But still,​ resist his bedtime.

我们尝试过让孩子有一致的时间表，到时间了就得上床睡觉。调好他的生理时钟，都是8.30晚上让他进房，以前好一段日子他都是9-9.30晚上就入睡了。可最近却不一样了。尽管他多么的疲倦都不愿意上床好好入睡。

Dim the room, lullabies, I tried pretending to be asleep, set up a cozy​ bed with pillows and plushies around, but nothing works. I always doze off very quickly​ if I​ lie down with him. I want that little bit of time of my own that I get to spend any way that I want. And he finally nods off, that's about 1-2 hours after he first went to bed.

把灯光调暗，一点音乐，也尝试装睡，让他躺在舒服的不行的床，但是没有一样行得通。若陪他躺着，往往我都是会比他快入睡。偶尔想要自己的私人空间，做些自己喜欢的事情，真的需要等到他睡着才行。终于他安静了下来，睡着了！但有时已是1－2小时之后的事情。

I always know that establishing good sleep habit takes time and a whole load of patience, the extra effort taken now will save many battles in the future(I hope). ​The job of being a mom is crazily hard, and yet, I believe all moms willing to do it again and again.

我明白要让宝宝培养早睡这习惯需要大量的耐心和时间，我多么希望现在的付出可以换来以后多多的自由！当娘一点都不简单，但是我深信这世上大多数的妈妈都很愿意为孩子不停的不停的付出。
