Hi all
So my 8mo DD has always been good at sleeping through the night but was always rocked to sleep. We decided a couple of weeks ago to try to get her to self settle as she went through a couple of weeks of hourly waking. Now we're taking her to bed at usual time, doing bottle etc the same but she's pulling herself up on the side of the cot for a good 90 mins after putting her in cot. I feel I have to lie her back down constantly otherwise she eventually falls and bangs her head, we have to then give her attention (obviously) but she's right back up again seconds later. Any ideas?? I know it's becoming a game with the standing and lying but she's so intent on standing I just can't win!
Also how do you alter their naps in order to make bedtime earlier?? Currently she's having 2 x 30 mins morning and lunch, then wants her big nap late afternoon, meaning she's only up 2 hours before bed time which can't be helping!
Sorry for long post
