When and how often does your 9 to 10 month old nap?!

[lillabean]

Hi everyone,

My 9month old baby started to crawl two days ago, and every since her schedule has been all messed up!

She always needed three naps like clockwork.. and now I don't know what she needs, though she doesn't want to nap at all it seems. This literally all changed overnight!

I guess we need a new nap scheudule. What time does your baby take a nap? and how often? What time is bed time for your lil' one?

Do you ahve quite a strict nightime routine aitch. idon't really but evening always ends with last feed in her nursery, dimmer switch barely on, head stroke, dummy, cot. I leav eher to cry for a few mins, f still screaming replace dummy once and leave. No eye contact at all.

try a bit of a lavender massage after a bath???

everythign stinks of olbas oil at the moment, she's had a cold. i'll stick some lavender oil into the bath and humidifier tomorrow, see if that makes a difference. cheers.

hmmm that tired but refusing to sleep is a pain aitch.

lavender body cream after lavender bath?
Lavender room spray for kids?

it's usually about 3ish, today was 4 woke at 5 for tea. I wore her out playing, bath at 7.15, a last feed, asleep by just tgone 7.30 in time to read DD1 a story and she was asleep before he end. Perfect!

ds is nearly 10 months and is napping for anything from 1hr to 3hrs a day, generally he will have a short nap in the morning and then a long nap in the afternoon, bed between 7-8 and up again between 7-8 next morning

how does the 'between lunch and tea' nap work, thomcat? my dd is the same as yours, but i worry that late nap is now encroaching on her night-time sleep as for the last week she's refused to go down until after 9pm. she's knackered, but won't go down. it's a real pain, actually.

[Thomcat]

oh and she has about 1 -1.5hrs in the morning, now and then a bit ore, and in the afternoon, about the same, sometimes a bit longer. So average 3 hours napping a day.
