Help 10 months old go to bed ealier

DD is 10 months old. During the day she goes down for nap without a fuss generally. She used to go to bed between 7 to 8pm and wake up 6.30am. But recently her bedtime is getting late around 9pm. She could stay even later than 9pm. I don't see difference whether she has 1 or 2 sleeps during the day.

I would love her to go to bed by 8pm latest but at the same time I hate to spend a long time getting her to sleep. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

HI girls...
great if you are night owls eh!
I'm a bit of an early to bed kinda girl.. (except lately as it is nice and cool late, and quiet and peaceful so I'm enjoying some 'me' time and making my Peke Moe then!)...BUT...
I think perhaps you need to look at what time day naps are happening?? and then work on a consistent routine for bed and maybe just don't give in??
If Tyde has a late afternoon nap then he will go to bed later (e.g. 8.30/9pm) but most of the time it's between 7-8pm. He will grizzle for a while (especially coz it's been so hot lately) but I be consistent and only go in if it's absolutely necessary (if he sounds like he's getting really worked up) this will usually mean that he's done 'twoseys' in his nappy, or he's ready to drink the last half of his bottle if he didn't finish it before bed.
I also think it depends on their wake up time... my boys wake between 6-7.30am and therefore fits 2 naps in during the day.
sorry.. not lots of answers.. I would just try and be consistent and not get the baby up but deal with everything in their room, and/or slowly adjust the time by about 15mins each night till it's down to the time you would like it to be. :)
all the best!

Oh my god, Mum2Lucas, our bubs are not just very close in age. They are exactly the same age.

Wow they are the same age Michsal, yeah I have the same problems regarding naps during the day too. Its always the same thing each night whether or not I try one or two naps during the day and every routine we have tried ...to date doesn't seem to make a difference!

Some nights when he is pooped though he doesn't put up a fuss, its when he is overtired and grumpy that its very hard to settle him!

I remember ppl telling me that the night feeds would stop around 3 months....and they didn't

Then 6 months ...and they didn't

9 months still the same ....I think he may be 2 before i get a decent uninterrupted nights sleep. Oh the joys of motherhood.

In posting this, Lucas has been asleep for 3 hours now and only rolled around a couple times so fingers crossed maybe only 1 feed tonight as opposed to two!

How are you solids going Michsal? How much does bub eat in one sitting, any problems there? ....We seem to take one step forward two steps back, getting nowhere fast!

I know what you mean. Ppl always say ¡¥you need to see the light at the end of the tunnel¡¦ but it is easier said than done. Sometimes I wish I did not know when they are supposed to sleep through cos it just doesn¡¦t happen as it is supposed to. I have also read that the sleep prob could be on and off for a few years so I am sort of prepared for the worse. I am trying hard not to complain. Bubs¡¦ brains are just too complicated for us to understand.

I did read on March mums that you are having a bit of prob with your bub¡¦s solid taking. Hopefully the nurse you¡¦re going to meet will give you some good hints.

I don¡¦t know how much solids she is supposed to have. Sometimes she takes more sometimes less. But what I¡¦ve found is that she likes to mix when eating, a bit of savoury, a sip of water, a slice of fruit etc.
