Please someone give me some ideas because I am not sure how many more 20 hour days I can do with dd!
From about 8 months when she started to crawl she has refused to go down - up until then she went down at about 730 and slept til 630 ish. We still gentle odd night when she still does this but the majority of the time it's 10-1130 before she goes down and is then up at 630-7. She is pretty much on the go all day with the odd 10-15 min cat nap during the day - maybe 3 on a good day but mostly 2.
I have tried controlled crying and some days it works and others she will scream blue murder for hours (I go in and check she is ok, pick up dummy, stroke her back and try my hardest not tonics her up amd cuddle her etc).
She started walking 10 days ago and it has now got worse. If i cam get her to sit still Kong enough she does calm down and fall asleep on me but half the battle is getting her to sit still - now she has found her feet she wants to be up on them all the time.
Please don't say a bath at night because I have tried but it excites her, as do stories. I am seeing my hv next week so could really do with some more ideas before I crumple and admit defeat.
Please someone have some ideas!!!
