DD's routine changed around this age.
I found that she screams because she wasnt ready for bed.

Lately i have cut out a sleep in the afternoon - she gets grizzly but i take her for a walk or something relaxing instead and then she is ready for her sleep.

If she goes down for a 2nd sleep then she is up half the evening not wanting to go to bed yet?

Thanks ladies!
Trish- she is sometimes very drowsy when I am puttingher down and bing! the eyes spring open and she screams or else, the eyes stay shut and she screams!
Fig- I may try the book idea. She is in a grobag and we have a little routine at night but doesn't help at the minute. It worked a treat before this started.
PP- I have tried keeping her up (3 hours) to make sure she was tired and I have put her down when she shows tired signs and even after being awake one hour in the morning and she still does it. The last 2 nights she has gone very quielty at 7pm as normal then woken about 2 hours later screaming until I pick her up. Then at 10 I give her a feed and that has settled her once but not the other time!
Yes, it is frustrating and I am know that it will pass. Just don't want to pick up not so good habits on the way- ie picking up, feeding to sleep, playing at night...
