I know I should just relax, but I can't! My DD is almost 17 months, she went to bed an hour ago, happily enough chatting to her teddy and said goodbye to us cheerfully as usual. She went quiet about 7.10 which is about normal - then at half past she started being noisy again. She's still going - she's not crying, grizzling or trying to get attention - she is just awake and talking and I find it really hard to relax in the evening until she's asleep. This is very unusual for her - she really doesn't often struggle to drop off and is asleep in 15 minutes max. I am just worried because she is an early riser (awake no later than 6 at the moment) and NEVER wakes later if she falls asleep later - in fact she usually wakes earlier.
She sometimes lies in bed making these noises when she wakes in the morning, we sometimes get an extra 45 minutes dozing as she's happy to talk to herself.
Any ideas or experience on why she might be taking a long time to settle? She also did this a couple of times last week. She's had 1.5 hours sleep today so not loads. I am happy to accept that I am being unreasonable, I just find it so hard to relax when she's awake and dreading my early start!!
