desperate... please help!

I am resuming work in 4 weeks after being off for approx 5 months. I am beginning to panic as I want xeiva to be in a good sleep routine. Xeiva's sleeping patterns have always been adhoc. At 7 weeks, she was having her last feed at 2 am and sleeping through until 9-10!
She used to sleep on me/ next to me and things were 'fine'. The last 3 days, I have been putting her to bed at 9 pm. she would sleep until 11, then wake up at 1am, then would finally sleep at 3.30! my husband and I are clearly tired and running out of patience, ideas, steam etc.

Desperate, i did some research and came across your book/ Im still awaiting my copy through the post but had a look online in the meantime. We opted for the PUPD.

Today, after her bedtime prep, she was ready for bed at 7.20 pm. It is now 00.20 and she is still screaming. she slept from 8.20-8.50 and then nothing. I have kept at time, with the timings, but doesnt seem to be working... I was realistic that It will not from day one, but my husband is now rocking her to bed as she is overtired, agitated and grouchy and we dont know what else to do:( we fed her and winded her but she is still wide awake and crying.

please advise!

Thank you
