It's all about timing your babies sleep pattern, some kids are super active and do not sleep bcz either they are hungry or they have wet nappies, so kindly check on these two issues.Also make sure the baby has played enough through out the day,and not slept in between.this would definitely tire the baby enough to have a peaceful sleep during night .

Please don't give any medication for sleep. It takes one year for babies to adjust to the circadian rhythm. Ensure she is not hungry. And not having any issue like colic. Or any kind of discomfort. Make her play throughout the day. And she will surely sleep.
