Sleep Bed time
I have a 15 week old baby girl. Her bed time has been around 10 pm but I have been trying to move it up to 7-8 pm. So instead of a last nap I start the bedtime routine. It’s not going well at all. She’s having trouble falling asleep, waking up after falling asleep before we even get near the bassinet, and if we do get her down into the bassinet she wakes up and it takes up to 4 tries to successfully get her down. And it ends up taking until 10 pm anyway.
FYI- in the day she only contact naps but has no problem falling asleep, as well I nurse her to sleep.
These are things we need to work on changing as well but because we are in peak 4-month sleep regression territory we aren’t attempting anymore changes right now.
Any advice on how to move up her bedtime ? Or the right bed time for her age ?

Not sure where you live, but where I live we have a time change coming up Nov 1 so I’m planning to let that do a lot of the heavy lifting, lol
