Hi Everyone, Recently my little one who is 9mths old been having problem with sleeping. Everyday I try to put her to sleep at 9plus-10plus. Her last nap time will be around 5-6pm. I know she is tired because she is rubbing her eyes. But the biggest challenge is when I try to put her to sleep. She will cry, scream and fight with me. Good days she will just resist for maybe 5-10mins bad like today was for 1.5hrs and she still doesn't wan to sleep. I tried forcing her but there is not use at all. It's seems like she doesn't wan to sleep because she wants to play yet she is super tired. I'm so tired and heart pain to her like this. Some times she cries so badly that I just stop trying to put her to sleep and she ends up sleeping around 11pm-12am which is not good for her. Anyone has suggestion? Super desperate tired mom.

Hi mommy, 9MO's wake time is only between 2.5-3.5h. Her bedtime (being asleep) needs to be at 8-9PM. The reason why she's crying and screaming is because she's terribly overtired. Overtired babies are cranky, can't be put down, and finds it hard to sleep. At this age, she should be soothing herself to sleep after a bedtime routine. If she's not, you may want to get her to do so. She also needs 2-3h of naps in the day. A well rested baby sleeps better at night. Sleep begets sleep!
