Changing bedtime to earlier

Can anyone help?! My LO won’t settle in her next to me at night until about 11pm/12am. And will wake Up around 10am, we have started waking her at about 9am to see if we can bring her bedtime forward but she is still settling at the same time each night. Should I just start trying to get her to sleep at 7/8pm each night? We’ve tried gradually bringing her routine forward but it’s just not doing anything and I’m starting to struggle with the lack of downtime in the evenings. (Don’t want to try the cry it out method)

My little girl was like this, not that I had an issue because I’m a late person anyway. I aimed to give her a last bottle about 1.5 hours before I want her to go to sleep. That’s usually her wake window after a nap, maybe a little longer. Eg. 9pm last bottle - 10:30 settle for bed x Not the best advice, but I focus all her bedtimes on her bottle time+ wake window xx

How old is she and what time is her last nap during the day? We had this issue and once we stopped naps after 4pm and set a routine, food bath bottle book then bed we can get him to sleep anywhere between 7 and 8pm without using any form of CIO method xx

How old is LO? It can take a couple of weeks for them to adjust to a change in schedule. Keep waking her up early, and expose to natural light before noon if you can) to help reset. What does day sleep look like?

My little one is exactly the same! She’s 8 weeks today! And she doesn’t settle in her next to me crib until between 11:30pm-1am! She wakes for the day between 9-10am and I’m struggling on how to adjust her sleeping pattern too!

She’s almost 5 months 🤦‍♀️😂 Don’t want to jinx it but I actually managed to put her down at 9:30 tonight! Last nap is about 6pm for half hour. She will happily sleep in our arms but just not when she’s put down at night which is hard! X
