Hi does your 8 month old baby takes an afternoon nap nd has troubles to fall asleep at bedtime? I dont know what to do when she sleeps before bedtime i dont know if i should or not wake a sleeping baby up just bcz she wont sleep at night to do what? overtired baby cant play when shes tired its torture on them to keep them awake but its a struggle at bedtime later bcz i have a 2 year old so it just messes up my evening even a 20 mins nap at wrong time makes her fresh nd less tired for bed i just dont know how to set her routine she refuses to nap in the early afternoon so she naps at 6 i dont know if thsts her bedtime or not but she wakes up after one hour nd sleeps around 2 which isnt good for her or me :/ i know babies will do that nd woll not strictly follow the routine but dont know what i should do aboit this?

I'd say at that age most babies are having 2 naps. Usually one morning, one afternoon. Some just one nap after lunch. Every baby is different though. Maybe try persisting with an afternoon nap to cut out the tea time one. Then she should be ready to go down better for bedtime.

My daughter is 10months and her routine is wake up between 6-7am then goes down for her morning nap usually 9-10am for about 1hour then afternoon nap at 1-2pm for another hour and then bedtime is 6:30pm. X

My son is 8 months old and has a morning nap and then naps again around 3 till 4:30pm, then he goes down at 7-7:30pm all night it was a struggle to begin with but just persevered and managed to get his routine to that maybe try putting her down earlier for afternoon nap x

At her age you can start to sleep train. Put her down slightly before she usually naturally goes. Day by day or week by week she'll adjust to new sleep times. She may not take to it right away. If that fails then I guess the only option is to take her lead and let her sleep when she wants. Then you have to accept whatever times those are lol.

I do have a routine but she usually sleeps at 6 or 7 then fights her bedtime by not taking long naps during afternoon naps its stressful

It's hard to give advice when I don't know all the facts. Her routine, how she goes to sleep etc. But from what you've said, it sounds like she needs to stop that 6pm nap. By sleep training her you can do that. You can look into sleep training for more info.
