have you tried drinking chamomile tea?
my dd has never slept much in number of hours though as an infant she always slept early (by 7 or 8 pm). It changed dramatically once she started walking. bye bye to the old days of easy bedding. i used to walk with her in the sling, nursing and me storytelling / singing all at the same time. it was really exhausting every night for several months but one night when she was about 18 months old i was talking to my SIL about this and suddenly that night she told me that she did not want me to walk her to sleep anymore and we should just lie down and nurse while i told her a story. since then it has been pretty smooth.
whenever i used chamomile i did find it helped. my dd would drink it too, but even if i drank it it seemed to be effective. i really dont know why i dont drink it more often. i think we shoudl get back to early sleeping, if at all possible!!!
