10 month old standing in cot

[RBJ72]

My 10 month old DD has just learnt to stand in her cot but still needs help to get back down. I am showing her what to do in the daytime but bedtime and naptime are challenging in that as soon as I lay her back down she rolls over and stands up again in her cot until I rock her to sleep. She was able to go off to sleep on her own before learning to stand. Any tips for bedtime apart from continuing to teach her in the day?

I think I maybe possibly too mean. I consistently went back in and lay my children down, if they were due for a nap and left the room and again, usually had to go in 5 or 6 times until they got the message and went to sleep. And before I knew it the stage had passed

I second teaandcake That's what I did too

Just lie her back down and leave the room. You may need to do it many many times but she'll get the message.

Yup, I'd leave her too. I bet she's already learned how to sit down and if not, she's got a soft nappy to sit down on. I would put her down for a nap and leave her to get on with it - I'd only go back in if she's absolutely screaming. If you don't, this'll become a big game for her. BTW - I've got two - DS aged 4 and DD 20 months.

Another one for going back in and lying back down. The record night was 32 times and 45 minutes, he was like a happy Jack in the Box - rubbing his eyes with exhaustion but still kept springing up! It was a phase and it passed...

agree with everyone else.......its a pain but just go in and lie her back down and leave the room. don't smile at her or talk to her. it wont last long!

Thanks everyone - currently implementing your advice for her lunchtime nap so will let you know how I get on!
