My 14 month old has ALWAYS fought bedtime. He's never been a great sleeper and struggled with reflux in the beginning. We sleep trained at 3.5 months for falling asleep and again at 7 months to cut down on MOTN wake ups. He finally sttn right after he turned 1 but he has always cried himself to sleep. Never hysterically but whining and fussing plus some babbling. It will range from 10 min to maybe 30-45 min depending on the day but he never peacefully lays down and just goes to sleep. He does this for naps too. For the record, we have a solid routine, he takes a bottle at the beginning of the routine and we put him in his crib fully awake.

Has anyone gone through this? Did your kiddo ever stop fighting bedtime?
