How to get 1 year old son to go to sleep?

It'll be a few tough nights that may be rather sleepless but in the end you'll succeed. Try explaining to him that at night he goes to sleep in his room. Let him cry and don't break. You can go into his room from time to time hug and kiss him telling him you love him but that he needs to go to sleep in his room. It may take a week and it'll be hard for you to keep it up.

 After a few nights like that things should start to get better.  The important thing is that your child understands that when he's in bed it's time for him to sleep not withstanding who's in the room with him.

Hi, we have a 18 month old niece that stays at our house for a week once a month and a nephew that is 3 yrs old.  When my nephew was younger we would tell him it was time to go to bed.  I would take him in his room, tuck him in, turn on a movie or the radio then sit in the room with him.  I would talk to him or answer his questions. When he was almost asleep i would leave the room.  After he got use to me leaving the room i would leave earlier and he would watch me leave but by them he was comforable and wouldnt get up.  Now with my niece we do the same thing and it works also. Hope it works for you, let me know if you get good results

read bedtime stories every night.  if given formula or milk at night, make sure it is warm.  also, try putting some honey or a teaspoon of molasses in it.  or in his bottle warm oatmeal cereal.  the cereal is a bit heavy and he'll go to sleep faster.  make sure what ever he has for dinner or supper has not chocolate items or sugary stuff to make him hyper and stay up.  also no cookies.

yeah ok, no sugary stuff like oh i dont know maybe honey or syrup! duh what a contradiction.

Feed the baby, and make sure the baby isn't hungry or thirsty before bed. the formula is bath, book, bedtime, and it's just a routine that you make that makes the baby understand on a physical level what is happening and what is going to happen next.  Whatever you decide to do for your routine should be something you want to continue to do.. whether it is letting baby cry, letting baby watch TV, giving baby warm milk, it doesn't really matter, but it's about two- three hours of winding down, so fill it with soothing activities you enjoy  :)

Remember they aren't babies forever, and after they get bigger, they won't sleep with you anymore.  I slept with my baby until she started clocking me in the face to wake me in the morning  :) enjoy!! 

Taking him a warm bath, reading a story, and then just tucking him in. You'll have to make it a routine for about 1-2 weeks and he'll soon understand that it's nighty night and he should be fine. Be sure that once you have tucked him into bed you dont visit him while he is crying it'll only make it harder. Worked with my son I started doing that when he was one,  but, he's going to be 4 years old now in July and by 8 o'clock he's asleep after a bath and a story and hugs and kisses. So Good Luck

Put the bby to sleep at the same time this will show teach him routine discipline, reassure him you both are there and that nothing is going to happen, lay with him at the beginning on his bed, until he gets reassured that this is the way it has to be when he comes to your bed take him right back to his, continue to do this until he realizes that he will have to go to bed on his bed at bed time. Do not let him sleeep during the day and make bedtime no later than 8pm he will be exhausted and eventually sleep all night be patient. Do not give him anything but milk or water right before bed good luck!

At the beginning it will be rough but put him to bed early no later than 8pm and reassure him you love him but that he needs to sleep in his own bed, at first you can lay a little while with him on his bed and if he gets up put him right back on his bed for as often as this happens he will eventually get the lesson that he needs to sleep on his bed and that everything will be ok. Good luck!
