Thanks girls! You've all made me feel MUCH better about things.... I think I needed reassurance that every other baby the same age is doing this too!!! (well most babies!)...
Mind you, I've ALWAYS let DD have her own routine and never forced her to sleep at a certain time or anything because I know you can't make a baby do something it just doesn't happen LOL! She has always fallen into her own routines as I feel thats so important and I guess thats why I was used to her sleeping at a decent time each night like 7pm. So when she started going to bed later and later i was like "hmmm when is this going to stop!!"

Yes you're right Anna.... a baby at 6mths is completely different to a baby at nearly 10mths of age I've found too!!! They change sooo much!

I've always been really good with 'going with the flow' and not getting too worked up with DD's sleep etc.... I've always been like that but this last week, with her teething really bad and we've just moved etc and sooo tired, it's all become a bit too much for poor old me!!!
But I think that's normal for us Mummies to feel a bit overwhelmed by it all at different times and stages..... it's all part of that rollercoaster ride of parenthood right?

Janie - that's a good point about the co sleeping. Easier to make transition to big bed later on.....
Heaven - your DD is just like mine. We have nights where she's in bed with us half the night, other nights all in her cot, other nights half and half, sometimes i fall asleep lying down feeding her (we always feed lying down at night) and she then is awake with us in the morning smiling at us hehe cute and i then realise i'd fallen asleep with her with us.... but that's sooo nice. Just depends on how DD is that night as to where she will sleep.

I think too, DD was sooo good at going to bed at the same time for about 3mths there at one stage, it was so easy, I KNEW she'd be in bed by 7pm and wouldn't wake again for hours... we had it REALLY good!! And then.... she changed.... LOL which we knew babies do that often but I think we got too comfortable with her sleep routine she was in herself iykwim?? lol like we had time to watch movies and have heaps of couple time etc back then!!!

She's just gone down for sleep #2 for the day.... we're having a great day today!!!
I'm off to lie down near her and be ready for those warm snuggles when she wakes.
