Can anyone offer some advice on getting an 18-month-old to sleep at night?

Until now the three techniques we’ve had are 1) feeding to sleep on the boob, 2) walking to sleep in the sling and 3) falling asleep in the car. Number 3 is only good for naps in the daytime, number 2 is getting difficult as our kid is getting big and heavy (and is a PITA at night anyway, and number 1 is starting to become less reliable/effective.

What have you learnt about getting kids (particularly this age, if relevant) to sleep?

Many thanks!

Mine are 9 and 11 now so my timeline may be off…

Does it all blend together at some point?

Yes and no specific dates and times do but you still remember all the parts of the journey.
