If the child is healthy, has no teething, no growth spurt, is full and has a comfortable environment for falling asleep and sleep then it's worth looking at the daily routine.

The most common cause of resistance to bedtime is an excessive or insufficient amount of awake time.

If your baby is calm during the bedtime routine but starts crying when he or she falls asleep then it’s worth trying to increase the awake time.

If he or she is crying and resisting during the bedtime routine and when putting him or her to the bed then it is necessary to reduce the awake time.

In order to get your baby to sleep more quickly, you need to reduce the awake time 10-15 minutes each day until he or she falls asleep peacefully in 10-20 minutes.

A child should be in a quiet environment with dim lights before the bedtime.

The favorable time to put your baby to bed at night is from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
