What's her daytime sleep like? That sounds like a chronically over-tired baby.

Hello her naps are up and down she might have a nap then she might not sometimes she sleeps in the car or buggy if we go out but it's really up in the air I can't seem to get her into a routine through the day with her naps x

My son was like this he never slept from day one, we gave up around 11 months and took him in bed with us, he started sleeping much better within a week or so, and starts sleeping 7.30 to 8am and still does and he is now 16 months

He is way more settled in our bed. Our house is much happier now we all get sleep.

Can she go to sleep on her own Kelly? You may need to start teaching and helping her to go to sleep in her cot and giving her ways of gaining the comfort she needs to sleep independently.

I am in the same boat, eight month old, wont bloody sleep.
We are so tired, he isn't hungry, barely has an once or two when he does get up! nut he gets so distressed in the bed. Arching his back and crying that one of us has to get up with him. And he will smile going down the stairs!

Its a good job he is so cute......

Think you need to encourage a much earlier, set bedtime of around 7-8pm - that was naps can become regular too and everyone know where they stand. Agree it sounds like overtiredness.
