My 15 month old daughter just refuses to go to sleep. We had a bedtime routine of bath, books, and singing/rocking to sleep but it just doesn't work anymore.
She now naps once a day between 12 and 2 and seems tired by 7pm. We have her bath at 7 which lasts around 10 minutes then she'll have milk and her dummy and comforter. She then refuses to be cuddled or to lie down and just wants to play.
We have managed to read her to sleep a few times (reading endless books until she drifts off) but most of the time all that's worked is letting her fall asleep watching TV. She won't sit still long enough otherwise! I really hate doing this (didn't even want her watching TV at all at this age but I'm at my wit's end). If we don't she just keeps going like the energiser bunny. She's been up until past 11 before we gave up. If we leave her in her cot alone she will just cry.
What am I doing wrong? Please tell me this is a phase. ðŸ˜
