DD2 is 8 months old and sleep is a nightmare! The problem is she won't go down for the night before 11pm (sometimes midnight). She also won't sleep in her cot and we usually end up co sleeping as she'll go back to sleep on the boob. She then sleeps til 8-9am sometimes even later.
In the day she has 2 naps. Short one in the morning (10.30 ish for 40mins) and longer in the afternoon (2 hours til about 3.30/4).
We are following BLW & BF, she has only really taken to solids in the last few weeks but now has 3 "meals" & snacks as well as being fed on demand.
After bath time she has a feed and usually goes off to sleep (7pm). If I then put her in her cot or move her from me she wakes up within 10 mins. If I leave her on the boob she may sleep for 30mins. Either way by 8pm she is wide awake and up playing until really late.
What can I do to get her to sleep at 7 (ish) pm? I don't mind the night wake ups as I know we can use CC to sort this eventually.
