Here are a changed sleep schedule ideas that my help. I feel terrible about leaving my son crying when it's time to sleep. But honestly, it does work, and he is happier the next day. I think 11 pm it's too late. My son has been sleeping since 3 months old from 8 pm to 8-9am. Then when he turned 6 months we started at 7pm, and he kept waking up at 8-9am. Actually, at 7 we start his bath, and by 7:30, 7:40 he's asleep. When he learned to stand up, it was a little harder. Around 9 months old - he started (as predicted) to challenge that. He would wake up at around 10pm or 11pm, and get up, and cry until we showed up. We were so not prepared for it, that we did go to see him - and that made it worse. About 2 weeks later we said "enough" and started to let him cry and complain (we have a night cam on his crib linked to the TV, so we can stop whatever we're doing to see him without going to the room). Anyway, about 4 nights later that stopped. He's now 13 months old (and started to get up at 5am) - we indulged him for a couple of weeks, but now we are doing the same again. And it didn't take more than 2 days for him to wake up, cry for about 10 to 15 seconds, and fall asleep again. So, 7 am is our cut out time. Anytime he makes a noise after 7 am, we turn on the lights, and greet him with a "good morning!" and he's all smiles. It's great (he sleeps in our room - it's huge, and the other room we have is too cold for him). Hope these sleep schedule ideas help.
