8 month old won't sleep im going Nuts!?

my baby did the same thing. Raising your voice really won't help, even if it does alleviate the stress for a moment. I've gone through nights when my 8 month old just would NOT go to sleep until 3 in the morning (sometimes even later!). I would have to put her in the bouncy seat, or "exersaucer" or do something until she got tired. Until I stopped fighting it, I became happier and less frustrated! Sometimes going online until she stopped making all the noise helped. If you have to go to work the next morning, it will be tough. Is there someone else who can help you through these tough nights? If not, please be patient and it will p eventually (hopefully!!). Good luck to you!!! I know it's rough!!
