How much and how often should a 9 mo old be getting during the day?
I am putting my ds down for a nap around 10am he usually gets up around 7.30,8am and he fights his nap then only gets about an hour before I have to wake him to leave for work....

Does he have any other naps? An hour in the morning doesn't sound like enough if it's the only one.

Have you tried napping slightly earlier, say half 9? Then another after lunch?

My 9mo has about 40mins about 9am then anything from 1-2hours at about 1pm.

I would try putting him down a bit earlier as he may be fighting it because he's overtired!

He usually has another nap after his bottle at 3pm for an hour and sleeps from 7 till 7 a night which is great it's just his morning naps that he fights and doesnt seem to have long enough or go down without upset
