Thanks, ladies! I feel reassured. I will definitely run it by her pediatrician, too, since she has an appointment in a few days anyway. I was scared with the whole tensing up and trembling, you know? The bedtime routine is usually bath, milk, books, and lights out. This whole process can usually take an hour. She likes to be rocked to sleep and since she was a newborn had a thing about being physically near me or her daddy and being held. She napped today, so let`s see how things go!

Around 15 months, my son started to fight bedtime a lot too. We continued to keep our routine and had a couple of rough nights of him crying after he was out to bed. We did move his bedtime back about half an hour, but we changed his routine as he got a little older. We used to dress him on the changing table after his bath, sit in his dark room with a bottle, and cuddle for a while before putting him to bed. Now that he is older, we dress him on the living room floor, then let him drink his last portion of formula/pediasure (Yes, he is still on it for being underweight) laying on a pillow on the floor and watching an episode of the Backyardigans. When the episode is over, he puts his bottle in the sink and we go into his room for a few minutes of prayers and cuddle time before he goes to sleep. Our routine changed gradually, but this new routine seems to work out much better for him being older.

Gabby just turned 15 months too (actually, I remember you from my week)and she has been really fighting bed as has my g/f`s LO who is two days younger than Gabby. I think it`s just a normal thing

an EEG? that`s intense, i don`t know if that would help but maybe. She could just be scared sometimes and you may want to find a different routine such as megandgrace suggested to help her fall asleep. Letting her watch yo gabba gabba while falling asleep may help, and making her bed comfy with her favorite stuffed animals and thick blanket, tucking her in tight. Bed time shouldn`t be a chore, and sometimes as parents it becomes that and we dont realize it. Let them relax and play a bit before they go to bed, read a book or two, play in their room for a short while. Hopefully this helps

My daughter has gone through different phases of good and bad bed time moments. I just go with it and try to get through them without going crazy with hopes that we will get back to `normal` sometime soon. I notice that as she goes through growth sports is when it changes, she sleeps and eats better when i feel she is growing. My daughter also has had night terrors in the past around about a year old too, luckily she hasn`t had any in a long time! Hopefully it will pass for you soon or try to find a different routine to get her to go to bed, good luck and you are not alone!!

Maybe she needs her bedtime adjusted?
