Sleeping through the night has only just started for my last one, he was 3 in August. It has been nearly 10 years of broken sleep.
In saying that, it gets easier.
Have a bedtime routine, do it at the same time every night. e.g bath at 6:15, pajamas and stories at 6:45, bed and lights out by 7:15.
My first boy wouldn’t sleep, I had to sit by his cot when he was 8 months old, he would be jumping around being silly, I just sat there reading a book. Sometimes for 2 hrs, not taking to him or telling him to settle, but just being there. DON’T use your phone, it glows and is a point of interest, books are much better for this quiet time. Eventually he would tire. If he got distressed I’d pick him up and calm him, then put him back down.
I have 3 boys.
