DD is 9 w and is capable of sleeping through - has done five hours several times and six hours twice. So I don't think she is inherently a nightmare sleeper!
But.... Her naps are a bit all over the place as she generally wants to nap on me and doesn't nap consistently during the day - on Sunday she had about 5.5 hours of naps and went down easily, whereas today she was fussy fussy fussy, and up and down like a blue arsed fly! Total naps probably 3.5 hours.
And her evenings are erratic to say the least. She will almost always. E in bed by midnight but prior to that, she resists sleep from about 7pm to midnight. She will feed to sleep, nod off, wake, want to play, on repeat.
So I feel like I need a routine, esp at night. But where to start? If I start getting her ready for bed at 8pm, which is probably a reasonable bedtime for a 2 mo, she just won't go. So do I spend the whole evening persuading her to go down till she finally accepts it?
Or, do I start doing a bedtime ritual for her self imposed bedtime of midnight and then try to bring it forward gradually?
Cannot see wood for trees ATM!!
