my 10mo girl is like that too. her daddy made it into a habit when i had to work night shift last time 😑 now im home aka quit my job, its a constant battle to put her to sleep.
i told her firmly its bedtime and i let her to have last 5mins of playtime. once times up, i bring her to her sleep area, ready with milk. i read somewhere babies doesn't need to be full to sleep. so i tried giving abt half of her usual milk intake. once thag settle, everytime she wants to play again, i would put her back lying down. keep doing it till she gets that its time to sleep. be firm even when shes crying, explain nicely to her while hugging her.
cut down the timing slowly. intial is 1230am. try set a routine by 12am. then 1130pm, then 11pm and so on. it takes time too. oh also its good if baby wakes up early so its easier to cut down the time. you can also have warm shower for her before bedtime.
for my girl nap time
+-9am wakeup (quite late but itsok)
+-12pm nap
+-3pm nap
+-6pm nap
+-9-10pm sleep (some times it can be unpredictable and it stretches to 1230am😅)
