Any suggestions PLEASE I'm open to pretty much anything!! Sleep time
Ok so DD is 21 months. Since Friday night bedtimes have consisted of 10.45pm, 9.30pm, 9.45pm and tonight 9pm.
She has her day sleep from about 11am until about 1/1.30pm. She still needs her day sleep because she is just unbearable in the afternoons and the bedtime process takes 100 times longer.
Our nightime routine is:
6pm - dinner
6.30pm - bath
7pm - bottle and books
7.30pm bedtime. Bedtime Routine is - kisses for mummy and daddy, walk to bedroom, into bed, kisses goodnight, music on, lights off, door closed.
These last few nights she has been up pulling clothes/shoes out of waredrobe, pulling nappies out. I've taken all the toys out of her room and the only toys she takes to bed is dorothy and baby.
Each time she gets up I go back in and do the same routine over again but but 9.30/10pm I am going INSANE and use my angry mummy voice and get cranky. Then I feel bad cause shes gone/going to sleep upset.
Is this just her age or that shes testing waters before the baby arrives? Does anyone have any other suggestions that I can try???? I am pulling my hair out now. I don't want to put her back into a cot as she climbs out.
