Baby constantly standing in cot

[badfurday]

Please help!
I have a 13 month old who loves to stand in her cot at bedtime. Whenever I put her to bed She constantly gets up. Tonight I put her back down over 30 times. I keep calm and put her back down on her back and say time to sleep etc, but it goes on for ages, over an hour tonight.

If my husband puts her down, she's asleep within 5-10 minutes. She doesn't flip over onto her tummy and stand up she just lays there chatting and then drifts off to sleep.

What am I doing wrong?! I'm exhausted. I work full time abs can't cope with this every night. Any tips or advice?

Put her down, tell her its sleepy time, kiss her night night and leave the room. Don’t go back in!

Get your DH to put her to bed every night! You are obviously more interesting than your DH!

Leave her standing up amd she will eventually lie herself down. She probably sees it as a fun game mummy plays. Unless she's getting upset leaving her in the cot standing up wont hurt.

Does she cry? If not i would leave her to it. If she does i would let dh put her down every night.

Leave her to it if get your husband to put her to bed?

I have this but my LO decides to cry and scream on top of it and crying it out doesn't work as they don't stop and sometimes get themselves to the point where they vomit so I've given up on trying to fight it and just feed them to sleep as that's the only thing that works. I figure at some point they will get sick of me and start to sleep on their own.

Put her in the cot, say goodnight, leave the room. Go back if she's distressed to lie her down and soothe briefly then leave again.

She won't stand up all night!

My 13 month old does this at nap time, I just leave her too it and she eventually lays down and nods off by herself

I would personally also just leave them to it and they'll sit down eventually! We had a phase of this for several weeks and she eventuallt just lost interest!

Thanks for the replies.

If I leave her to stand and walk away, she cries/screams. She doesn't self settle at all.

I've just tried to put her down now and my husband stayed in the background to see how bad she is and she just constantly flips over for me and stands up. He then just said shhh go to sleep and she's bloody asleep! He's like a sodding magician!

She's obviously really attached to me at the moment and I guess I'll have to wait for that to pass or try some sort of controlled crying.

Roll on the teenage years when they sleep for England.
