Any suggestions for getting baby to sleep earlier?

Question

Hi everyone! My baby has always been a late sleeper and I've been fighting to try and get her to sleep early. 
One miracle night she slept at 8:30 but otherwise, she always sleeps around midnight or later. 
She also wakes around 9:30, so I'm happy she doesn't wake super early when she's sleeping late, but I'm not sure how to push her bedtime back! 
Side note; her dad comes home around 10 and she gets super excited to see him and gains back all her energy even if she was falling asleep

Answer

Do you have a bedtime routine? You should start in small increments. Gradually start it 15 mins earlier and do that until you get to the desired bedtime

Answer

Try incrementally moving it back. 15mins- half hour every day or few days. 
I know It sucks but maybe have daddy not interact with her when he gets in so she doesn’t get revved up. Hopefully as she wakes earlier she gets her daddy time in the morning.

Answer

Do sleep train. Babies best sleep by 8pm since after 8pm they get boost of energy then gets harder to slee. Check out Taking Cara Babies. Ours go to bed at 6:30-7pm and sleep good 11-12hrs.

Answer

We have a 4 hour-ish window between last nap and bedtime. Often her last nap ends around 3-3:30 and she's up and playing and stuff until 6. She starts being sleepy by 6, then we start bedtime routine of bath and pajamas (as soon as her pjs are on she gets real sleepy). She will eat and cuddle and it usually out by 7:15.
