Sleep Query

[Shortcake01]

Looking for some advice please. The last couple of nights LO has not settled at bedtime. She is 6 weeks old and from about 2 weeks old we give her bath, bottle and put her down about 7, she used to sleep until 10 but then be awake for a few hours.
We then started giving her the 10pm feed in the dark and that prompted her to go back to sleep which was fab.
Now although she sleeps from 10pm to 6.30 just waking for 1 feed, we can't get her to settle between 8 and 10.
We give her a bath, bottle and settle her down. She sleeps for about an hour then wakes up and cries. I've tried the pick up put down method which did work but now doesn't.
I'm grateful she sleeps after 10pm but wondered if anyone could shed any light on the other problem? She seems quite alert and right now is sat with us on the sofa gurgling and kicking her legs!
Thanks and sorry for rambling xxx

I think its pretty normal behaviour for her age, hun. When she's sleeping for an hour then waking up again, she is probably having her last "nap" of the day rather than actually going down for the night. I remember when my LO was that age she didn't go down for the night until about 10pm too, but when she got to about 12 weeks she naturally started bringing her bedtime earlier and now she sleeps from 8 till 6ish with one wake up at about 3am (on a good night lol!)

Just go with it and in time she'll sort herself out x

Yeah she probably just wants a later bedtime. My lo from 5 weeks has gone to bed at 7:30-8pm but my daughter was very different and didn't go bed till 9:30-10pm at that age. You will probably find as she gets abit older she will bring her bedtime foward hun xx
