DD2 is 10 months and a pretty bad sleeper - we're lucky if we get a 4 hour stretch at night, and she has a couple of half hour naps in the day.
The real problem though is that she has to be held to go to sleep, and won't settle herself. I've read the No Cry Sleep Solution, and I've tried to put her down awake and gradually change what I do - but then it can often take me at least half an hour if not an hour to get her to drop off. This isn't really feasible though on a regualr basis as I can't just ignore DD1 who is 3... so finding it impossible to invest the time I need to get DD2 to sleep better.
Also they share a room, so at night, while DD1 will sleep through most things, I'm not sure she'd sleep through anything too noisy.
Any suggestions? I'm too sleep deprived to know what to do...
