trying to get 11 months old baba to have earlier bedtime routine

[biglips]

my old routine - wakes baba at 9am till 1pm, have 2-3 hours nap, stayed awake till 10 -11pm..then bed

my new routine - ive been waking up earlier (for the past 3 weeks) in the week at 7 - 7.30am till 12 -1, have 1.5 hours nap in the day then later on she start to get sleepy about 7pm BUT as soon i give her milk to knock her out completely she wakes up and stays up till 10pm.

it doesnt make any different if i let her have 1.5 hours nap or 3 hours nap in the afternoon, she still fall asleep at 10pm !!

now shes screaming

oh i give up as noone is helping

thanks!

I dont think you can solve it in one night, I wouls suggest bringing her bedtime forward by 5-10 minutes a night.

I know you say it does'nt matter how long a nap she has in the afternoon, but I do think it would help to wake her after a maximum of 1.5 hours.

i realised that i cannot do it in just one nite but just wanted advice of how to do it (as im first time mum) as i went up twice after baba was left crying for 4 mins each and in the end she was getting herself sick

sorry i came on like that to you WF as ive got a banging headache which ive had allll day!

No worries thats how kids get you sometimes.
