Hi all we are struggling to crack a couple of sleeping issues with our 16 month old. For about 6 months now she has been really hard to get her to settle to sleep. After bath time and some milk at 7pm she seems to get a second wind and wants to roll around on our bed or run round the bedroom until she tires herself out, problem is this can go on till nearly 9pm so we are getting very little down time to ourselves as a couple after a long days work. Up until about 10 months old she would always have bath, milk and be fast asleep and transferred to her cot by 8pm
Second issue is she is, once finally asleep between 8.30 and 9 she will always wake 2/3 hours later and stand in her cot and cry until one of us goes in and takes her out and settles her on the single day bed we have in her room. Then one of us has to stay on the bed with her as she won't go back in the cot after the minute she feels herself being lowered the crying starts again.
Any naps she has in the day are typically around 12/1pm for a few hours so there is no late afternoon naps that might be making her less tired of an evening.
Its really taking its toll on our relationship so any advice appreciated.

Do one of you stay with her til she falls asleep? If so, every time she wakes she will need one of you there.
