yes an EW is more towards 10 hours a night. i think if you go for an earlier bedtime though you *might* find that she doesnt wake any earlier, or even that shes so well rested she sleeps till 7am. you may as well give it a shot

What is she doing when she doesn't fall asleep until so late?

[NewMom1981]

When she doesn't sleep at first at night, she is doing 1 of 2 things....either awake and just laying there....waiting to go to sleep it appears. Or, fussing...not "crying" just getting to sleep. Not her Mantra cry, more "upset" than that, but not super upset. SHe takes a paci to go to sleep, and sometimes it falls out and she wants it back. I do the shh/pat and that works most times lately. If I pick her up, she immediately gets comfy and will go to sleep in my arms....what to do?

[RachelC]

So it's not a mantra cry... is it a true "I need you" cry?  If you let it go, does it turn into one?

Perhaps it's time to wean the paci?  Unless she is mega upset, I would avoid picking her up, stick with the pat/shh.
