"moving baby's bedtime back an hour" - how is this done?

You just put them to bed whether they are tired or not?

Sorry to sound clueless, but I'm totally clueless.

    I think it's easiest if you make changes to LO's bedtime in 15 minute increments.  Try 15 minutes earlier each night until you get to a comfortable bedtime.  It's easier that way because since LO is only going to bed 15 minutes earlier, there's a greater chance they'll be tired enough to sleep.

    If I want DS to go to sleep a little later I play him hard and try to get him to take a 20-30 min nap about an hour before bedtime! That almost always works for us! If you are wanting to change his bedtime permanently try to do this for a few nights and it should become routine!

    I would also involve the day's naps. Like, If bedtime was to be 1 hr earlier, all naps would be 1 hr earlier (or perhaps shorter).
