We cheated by starting very very late. But. I brought her up to bed and fed her until she was happy, in the dark; she asked for a teddy and I left to find one; Rob brought the teddy back to her and put her back to bed about ten times in six minutes, while she got angrier and angrier. When she went from "angry" to "hysterical and hoarse" I went up and swapped places; I fed her to sleep in less than ten minutes.
So from decided she was having a bedtime to her being settled took, apparently, less than 20 minutes. For our next trick, we'll do it much, much earlier in the evening.
The good news is that it didn't disturb Linnea in the slightest.
