my 1 year old baby sleeps quite late at night, sometimes around 10.30pm, before she sleeps, she walks around like she has unlimited energy. do you have any idea how to make her sleep faster? sometimes, if she only had a nap once in the afternoon, then she'll go to sleep at around 8pm, but if she had her nap twice, she'll go to sleep late. I need her to go to sleep early because sometimes I have something else to do, and I can't just leave her alone, right? please parents, give me some advice..

i think you don't have to let here take two naps! my youngest one don't need it also. most of the time she sleeps only a half hour twice a day! so i bring her to bed before 8 pm, sometimes she is still playing in her bed, but at least she is lying in it and knows it is sleeping time! make it a ritual, like eating around 6 pm, watch tv(if there is a child program) for 15 minutes, put her in a bath or shower, let her play some time, and when it is around 7.30 you bring her to bed, read a story if she likes, or just sing a song(i always sing a song so she knows it is bedtime) and tell her go to sleep and stay in bed!
may be this works for you?
