Fighting Sleep
My daughter is 8 months old and seems to be going thru a phase of fighting her sleep (at least I hope its a phase!). She's never been like this, she usually knows when it is bed time and as soon as she hits her bed, she's out. The last 2 weeks, she wants me to hold her and rock her to sleep and if I don't do that, she will sit and cry for me until I pick her up. I don't mind doing this, but she is taking forrrrrevvvverr to fall asleep and I usually have to do this multiple times before she will be out cold.
Anybody know if its usual for babies this age to go through this and if so, ideas to help get her to sleep? If I didn't have to work and have another child I devote time to after she's in bed, I would love to spend an hour trying to get her to sleep!

@kendylsmommy I will download that and try it tonight, thanks!
@proudmomma That sounds exactly like my daughter, I can't let her cry for too long though cuz I feel bad. Eventually she will fall asleep, but because she gets to crying, she will get a snotty face and it makes me feel really bad. Poor babies...why can't they understand how good sleep is LOL?!
