Aw hun, its awful isn't it? My DD did this at around the same age. She was a shocker for fighting sleep. The horrible thing is, I felt like I was constantly battling her to go to sleep.

My only advice is to try and let go of the whole sleep thing. I think we mum's focus on it too much. She's too little to be forming habits, so just do whatever you need to get her to sleep. I used to feed DD to sleep and hold her in my arms (and I stupidly felt guilty while doing it).

The good news is they seem to grow out of it...hang in there!
