15month old refusing to go to sleep.

[misdee]

help me. for the past week, my dd2 has refused to go to sleep. she has an hour or 2 at lunchtime, but she wont sleep at night. she wants to get up and play. she has been screaming tonight for 2 hours (still going in fact). i have been in a few times to check she hasnt made herself sick as she does do that if she cries too much, she has a nightlight on and is just so fretful. what can i do? nothing has changed routine wise, so i dont know why she is doing this.

1 hour so far tonight, and still going strong........

misdee could she be teething?

thats what i thought. she has had calpol, but bites me if i go near her with teething gel (she has about 12 teeth already).

try rubbing in on a dummy?

she doesnt have a dummy.

bottle teat?

just tried that, and she lobbed the bottle at me. little madam. she is fine if i get her out of her cot. she just seems to want to play.

oh dear maybe she is just not tired. You have my sympathy xx

she is only sleeping about 6hrs at night. wnet to sleep around midnight last night and was up at 6am.
