Help! 10 month old standing in cot and refusing to sleep!

[Hybrid]

Currently in the middle of trying to put down DD who us joyfully practicing her standing every time I put her in her cot.

A common problem I know but advice needed please. The more I stand there laying her back down the more awake she gets! When I leave the room it's hysterical crying whilst standing. (She's just made herself sick with crying after 5 mins). She's normally a good self settler who can be put down sleepy.

Last night we were up til 11pm after a bedtime of 7.30!

Please help!

Can she get herself down from standing? Have read that they need to practice their new skill but then get tired but can't get down again.
Am not sure, never happened to me as DD1(2.4) still very rarely stands up in cot.

It's a developmental norm and exhausting for everybody. She won't be able to help it and her brain is so busy practising her new skill that she can't switch off. They do it when starting to walk too. They even do it while still asleep so don't be surprised if you find her getting up in her sleep and disturbing herself. She'll be cross and tired but honestly, won't be able to help it.

Do whatever you can and whatever gets you through it. It doesn't last and you won't make a rod for your back if you do what you need to do to help her sleep. They go back to better sleep patterns once the skill is mastered. If she isn't settling, I'd get her up and tire her out a bit more. Let her practise her new skill and then try again later.

Thanks guys.

DD asleep 2 hrs ahead of last night so better! Had to be held, rocked and eventually a dummy given. Still no guarantee how long it'll last.

Hands, I'm taking heart from your advice about it not ruining their sleep habits too much. I can completely see she can't help it (DS went through the same thing but only for a night or two) and am just going to have to weather this stage. Just always worry there's something magical I should be doing to make it past quicker!
