[quote=Anonymous]We’ve had a similar issue with my 2.5 yo DC, though not as extreme (usually asleep by 9:30). Honestly the only real factor we’ve found makes a difference is the amount of time she is awake between nap and falling asleep (needs to be about 6 hours for her). We are lucky enough to have some flexibility with that because we have a nanny. But two additional thoughts:

1.) Can you put the railing back on her crib? My DC is still in a crib (lowest setting) and hasn’t tried to escape, so even on her worst night she’s just playing by herself in her crib with the lights off.

2.) I second the suggestion from above re try cuddling her asleep for a few nights, then try to wean back from that. I still rock my DC to sleep when she’s sick, or hold her hand until she’s asleep. May be worth a shot?

3.) You may not have the space available, but consider taking everything out of her room: books, dresser, everything but her bed and one blanket. Boredom may force her to sleep faster. Again, doesn’t have to be forever, just until she’s in a better rhythm. [/quote]
