We do 2-3-4. We do dinner 1.5-2 hours before bed. Bedtime is always between 7-8. We keep all elements the same as much as possible. Regardless, all LO wants to do is play play play play play crash. A typical night:

Try bottle 30-45 min before bed, about an hr after dinner.... He sucks for 10-15 sec, pushes it away, twists out of arms, tries to play around smiley and/or cranky.

Change into diaper and pjs.... he spins, flips, and tries to crawl on the table or floor.

Try to read books.... pushes them away, flips around, tries to crawl in bed.

Give up on books, try sound machine and bottle again.... Alternate drinking small portions with pushing bottle away and trying to escape to play, so energetically.

Turn off lights, attempt bottle again, this time at scheduled asleep time.... Maybe or maybe not drink. Calms down mostly once lights are off, but I don't want to do the whole routine in the dark!

Rock a bit, put in crib.

I am exhausted by this and he has so much energy. He is like an energy vampire. What am I doing wrong? What should change?? Move bedtime up, down, what?
