8month dd2 has recently learnt to stand up in her cot and is on autopilot overdrive. She still wakes twice a night. If her eyes are open, she stands. She hasn't perfected the art of sleeping whilst standing up - so she just stays awake, getting more and more frantic as she gets overtired.
Helping her to lie down makes her furious and seems like a waste of everyone's time and energy - have tried it for periods of up to 2 hours with no success. We've been putting her "to bed" in her car seat in front of the TV for 3 weeks - worked a treat for 10 days - but now she's needing the same in the middle of the night and starting to fight it at her initial bedtime too.
...this is horrible...where on earth do we go from here?
