Dd was going to bed at 10 with me but was getting tired in the evening and fussy so i moved bedtime to 7:30. She sleeps a good 5 hour stretch from this time and then on and off until about 5am.
However when she came to bed with me she went down beautifully, now with an earlier bedtime she screams blue murder, but is tired. Usually her screaming results in immediate sleep so it's asif she's over tired, but she gets a nap not too long before bed. She becomes totally inconsolable and its awful!
She's been generally horrendous since i moved her sleep time but I'm certain that's to do with a growth spurt, she's 8 + 4. The other night she slept 8 hours straight - def growth spurt related.
Why is she going nuts at bedtime? What else can i try? Am i doing the right thing with the earlier bedtime?
Help!
