Hi and welcome
Sorry your son isn't sleeping have you discussed this with health visitor or gp
We have a parents and carers section may have some tips on there
My son was good sleeper used yo put him down awake with his TV on timer and he just dropped off in his own time
I know its not everyone's choice to let them have tv on maybe some background music
Good luck hope you get it sorted -
Welcome to the community @stacey_riley
Thanks for joining.
I'm sorry to hear that your son doesn't sleep very well. As Janer1967 mentioned, we have a parents and carers category. I've moved your post in there, and renamed it slightly so that other parents can find it more easily.
You may also want to check out Scope's Sleep Right service. The service is available to families with disabled children aged:- 2 to 18 in London and Leeds
