Bedtime used to take 15 minutes. Now it takes an hour. Your baby screams when you put them in the cot, arches their back, clings to you, or pops straight back up the moment you lay them down. Bedtime has become the most stressful part of your day — for everyone.
Bedtime resistance usually boils down to one of two things: your baby is either overtired or undertired, or they haven't learned how to fall asleep without you doing something specific. An overtired baby is wired and can't wind down. An undertired baby simply isn't sleepy enough. And a baby who relies on feeding, rocking, or your presence to fall asleep will protest when those conditions change.
The frustrating thing is that these causes look identical from the outside — a baby who won't settle. But the fix is completely different for each one. Getting the schedule right, building a solid wind-down routine, and gently teaching your baby that the cot is a safe place to fall asleep are all part of the puzzle. The right combination depends on your baby.
Warrington sits between Manchester and Liverpool, and families here often feel caught between two cities' worth of conflicting advice. We simplify things — one clear plan written for your baby, with daily support if you want it.
The North West has a brilliant community of young families, but when it comes to persistent sleep problems, community advice only goes so far. We provide the structured, personal support that takes you from 'I've tried everything' to 'it's actually working'.
Signs your baby might need help with bedtime battles
- Taking 30+ minutes to fall asleep at bedtime
- Crying or protesting when placed in the cot
- Only falling asleep while being held, fed, or rocked
- Becoming hysterical or overtired before you can get them down
- Bedtime getting later and later as you try different things
What's usually behind bedtime battles
- Overtiredness — missed the sleep window and cortisol has kicked in
- Undertiredness — not enough awake time since the last nap
- Strong sleep associations making independent settling difficult
- Separation anxiety making the cot feel unsafe
- Inconsistent bedtime routine not providing clear sleep cues

Common questions about bedtime battles
Why does my baby scream at bedtime?
Bedtime crying is usually caused by overtiredness, undertiredness, or strong sleep associations. The fix is different for each cause, which is why understanding your baby's specific situation matters.
What time should my baby go to bed?
There's no magic bedtime — it depends on your baby's age, nap schedule, and wake time. Most babies do well between 6:30pm and 7:30pm, but the right time is the one that matches your baby's sleep needs.
How long should bedtime take?
A calm, predictable bedtime routine should take about 20–30 minutes. If it's consistently taking longer than 45 minutes, something in the routine or schedule likely needs adjusting.
