hello

do you think you might need to keep her up a bit more  during the day . we have the same problem with our 18 mnth old if she has to much sleep during the day

all the best

I would probably keep her up a little more during the day. I know she has a routine but try and get her into a new one of staying up for a few hours early afternoon and late night. say from 1-3 then up at 6-8.30.

I would say maybe she is getting a bit too much sleep during the day or that you have the house very quiet at night.  We have background noise most of the night for our girls, and when we don't, those are the nights we are up and down with them, or have them in our bed.

You could try having a radio on during the night, just loud enough for her to hear the music.

fist of all 4 and a half months seems quite early to be starting solids. it's not really advised to start them on solids til 6 months and they have an "open" digestive system and some food can pass into the blood stream which can lead to allergies later.

she might be getting too much sleep during the day, so she's not wanting to go down later at night, sounds like she could be confusing day with night, can you shorten the naps a little?
