Don't force me...
Strangely, babies do not sleep "like a baby". I.e. they do not sleep deeply and for long as long as they're tiny babies. They also do not just fall asleep randomly, they need help to sleep.
At least my baby does. So, I thought I'd try to get her to sleep earlier in the evenings, as her natural sleep time is 9.30 pm. Boy, was I wrong to do this? She can fall asleep earlier, but then wakes up only to cry for an hour or sulk, or wakes up in the middle of the night. At least I've learnt one thing these weeks: Dont' force people to do what you want, let them do what they want. Especially babies, as this is the only time they can have any random time to do anything...
