My friend DD is 2 year 3 months. She has incredible speech and is in a big girl bed!
Some days she naps others she doesn't. When she naps she sleeps for anything from an hour to and hour and a half but then won't go to sleep/bed until 9/10pm at night. When she doesn't nap she turns into the devil child around 4.30pm and she has huge trantrums where she needs to be restrained from hurting herself! she is often asleep on these days by5/5.30pm. She wakes often throughout the night. Sometimes to wee in the toilet othertimes she wakes screaming for her mother. She does not fall asleep independently and has a bottle of milk 3 times a day, (One at around 5am in the morning!!)
Anyway any suggestions on naps bedtimes etc??

thanks

Sounds to me like firstly she needs to learn independent sleep. I'd show her this - http://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=80750.0

Also, and this is JMHO, the bottles should go as well, especially at 5am, but I wouldn't call that the priority.
