When I put DD (8.5mths) to bed during the day she continually rolls, sits and stands in her cot, however, when DH puts her to bed she goes straight to sleep. The only way I can get her to sleep is by holding her hip preventing her from rolling until she falls asleep - usually only takes a couple of minutes. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get her to go straight to sleep like she does for DH. I assume she thinks it is some kind of game, but I'm not finding it fun.

I did last week try to just let her be, hoping she would finally just fall asleep, but after 45 minutes she showed no sign of giving up (I was going in ever now and again and laying her down telling her it was time for sleep) so I layed her down held her hip and she was alseep within a minute.
