How the hell can I get my baby to go sleep without a fight?!

My nearly 7 month old used to sleep great in the night and was awful at daytime naps. Now it's the other way around.

She fights her bedtime so hard I don't know what to do. We have a bedtime routine where we bath her and get her ready for bed, bottle and then down in her cot. She then starts flailing like absolute mad - arms going up and down and hands flapping, legs kicking and feet rubbing together. If I try to restrain her she gets even more irritated and can't seem to stop. Her breathing is also really fast. She squeals really loud while doing all of this.

What on Earth is she doing?? Has anyone else had this?

My husband keeps threatening to sleep train her with controlled crying and I just can't do that.

I meant to say, yes I do get rage. Not call you dear ... sigh

@Calmingvibrations honestly, I was a calm, positive, active and hard working person. I am now reduced to a tired, irritable, ragey person. Sometimes when my DH asks me to do something it's like the end of the world because I just want a day where nobody wants anything from me!!

Arghhhhh. I just hope she learns to sleep through soon. I can't cope with the no sleep!!!

Does anyone else find that baby just rolls around in the cot? Mine rolls on to her belly and yells and it's so frustrating!
