She's just gone to bed! Fingers crossed.... DH played with her heaps this afternoon to help tire her out even more... her eyes were so red she must have been sooo tired.

Jakabella - yep we bring DD into our bed of a night time (and day) if she won't sleep in her own cot but I don't sleep well with her in our bed and once she falls fast asleep i then carry her back to her cot anyway... i feel she is safer in her cot than in our bed. DH and I are rollers and roll around alot and have the doona over us I worry DD would get overheated etc.
Yep we do the 15mins/15mins thing too some nights.... but if she's really upset I don't do it I just let her stay up with us until she's really tired.
Thanks for your posts

Boomba - she seems to get up the same time in the morning regardless of the time she went to bed.... Her room is always nice and dark but in the morning the sun seeps through the cracks around the blinds, i'm sure that doesn't help. We are moving soon so maybe the next room might be better Yep she will fall asleep with us in our bed but sometimes she wont... she'll lie there chatting away thinking its play time very cute but not when i just wanna sleep.

Sneaky - I am the same... I don't like the whole fight to get her to sleep thing so I don't try for long and instead just bring her out with us of an evening so she can sit and watch us eat dinner etc or have some more cuddles. Thing is that is upsetting me about it all, is the fact that it's such a loooong day for me because DD doesn't sleep much in the day time and wakes earlier in the mornings lately so with all of these things happening i'm one exhausted Mummy

I think her going to bed later in the evenings, would not bother me as much if only she slept more throughout the day time you know??? *sigh*
lucky she is cute .....
