what is baby eating? and when? is she getting a lot of fruit juice? not a good idea...is she on soy milk? read up on health considerations for that...is she getting a lot of healthy fats? (read nourishing traditions by Mary Enig and Sally Fallon)...are parents fat phobic? If she is eating enough food, not guzzling juice all day...and is tested for allergies...I would give her a good size meal not too long before bedtime...maybe oatmeal or something stick to your ribs...I would also not have a TV going...and I would have her run around outside a lot during the evening to try to wear her out...I don't think I would let her in the bed but maybe make a little nest or have a mattress next to the bed for a while...
