Hi

Just that really... my almost 9mo just keeps standing up etc, shouting (in a playing type way) until she decides she's tired after about 40 mins, then goes to sleep. No crying generally. Me or DH sit in chair beside the cot, laying her back down every few mins. So how do you get to the bit where you retreat?? Been at this for two weeks and every evening has been the same, give it take.

I just patted the mattress with my hand through the bars and said 'sit down/lay down, sleepy time' or something. He got the hang of it. We had a long long time, after the initial period, where I put him in the cot, laid down and he just laid there watching his mobile.
