need advice on bedtime

hello everyone, im so tired. its 9:30pm and my son still isnt asleep. we did bath, stories, everything. he just wont settle. he had a snack of goldfish crackers around 7pm, and i think that was too late. i just want him to sleep so i can finally sit down. the grocery store was packed today, took forever. anyway, has anyone else had this problem? any quick tips?

@Snowcloud Ugh, been there! Mine sometimes gets too wound up if they have anything sugary too close to bedtime. Maybe try cutting out snacks after 6pm next time?

@Snowcloud Don't you hate when that happens? We had a phase where bedtime was a battle every single night. Lots of deep breaths helped me.

@Snowcloud Goldfish can be surprisingly tricky. My youngest would go wild for them. Maybe a tiny bit of plain yogurt instead next time? Hope he settles soon!
