My LO’s bedtime is 9pm every night and she still wakes up occasionally from shuffling in her cot. Shes up twice in the night.
How can I get her to sleep more earlier in the evening such as 7:30/8. She has 2 naps in the day but I feel as if I should cut the 2nd one out?
Any ideas?

When does she wake up for the day and When are her naps?

It does sound like too much day time sleep. If she's sleeping from 6ish to almost 9, I'd get her up at 8 or even 7:30, regardless of if she was awake for a bottle or not. She should be tired enough then for a nap around 9 or 10, then another around 1 or 2. At this stage you could do a short catnap near the evening (not too close to bedtime), but depending on how she does you may not need it.

Sounds like she’s getting the right amount of sleep but you would like to shift her schedule. She’s going to need to get up earlier in the morning to have both naps earlier and then an earlier bedtime. Our little boy is up anywhere between 6 and 7:30am for then bedtime at 7:30 with 2 naps. A lot of babies don’t drop consistently to one nap until after 1

You’re aiming for waking from that second nap by around 4/4:30 if you want a 7:30 bedtime rather than starting it then

Mine wakes around 6 or 7. Her first nap is around 10am for an hour and a half. She will only have a second nap if we're out and about but I don't let her sleep past 3.30. 9 times out of 10 she doesnt have a 2nd nap at all. Bedtime is 6.30pm every night on the dot. She will let the whole street know shes tired once 5.30 hits even if shes had that 2nd nap
