I need some help. My DD is 21 months old and the past few months bedtime has been awful. She used to sleep about 2 hours in the day and go to bed by 8pm every night till around 7am.
She now naps about 1 hour in the day but no matter what time this is she won't go to bed until 11pm. I've tried keeping her up all day, only letting her nap 30 mins, letting her nap until she wakes. None have made a difference.
As for bed time I've tried putting her in her bed and leaving her to fall asleep (doesn't happen, she'll just talk to herself and scream for me till 11pm) I've tried cuddling her, reading to her, sitting next to her bed, letting her play till later. Nothing is making a difference.
Is this a phase they go through at this age or is this my life now?

I used to love cleaning the house once she'd gone to bed and having me time, now I'm so tired I just want to go straight to bed once she's asleep.
