We have never had a set bedtime, when she gets tired, we put on our pj's, get a fresh diaper and breastfeed. She has recently stopped sleeping at the breast and will pop off first then go to sleep. Just in the past couple of weeks when I go to lay her in her crib she wakes up and screams. She does not cry herself to sleep, only gets louder and more irritated the longer I let her go, very hard sobbing, big tears, snot, red head/face, the works. I occasionally bring her to bed with us but this is not conveient and not a habit I want to start. She also seems to want to play instead of sleep. After she has her bedtime "boob" she will sit up and start playing peek-a-boo with the blankets and pillows instead of laying down, she gets mad and freaks out when I make her lay back down. She has started keeping herself awake until she literally passes out from exhaustion. None of us are getting to sleep on time anymore, it has been taking an hour or two or longer to get her in bed at night.
