How do you wind down a very playful and active baby before bedtime? I've tried massages, but she doesn't like being on her back so she ends up crawling all over the bed. I've tried books as well, but she sees them as toys. Help!

I find that switching off the lights work well for me. A dark and cosy room, perhaps with some classical music, helps to wind my baby down and soothe her frazzled mood. You might need to carry your baby close to you and rock her gently to sleep. My baby is cranky when she is tired, so that's what I usually do. It's quite effective for me. Lavender oil also helps in calming your baby down. You could get it from Young Living and see how it helps your child. http://sg.theasianparent.com/bedtime-routine-for-babies-good-night-sleep/2/
