9 month old naps?

3 replies

I wondered if anyone had any advice on encouraging a 9 month old to sleep through the night.

She used to, but we went on holiday and can't get back to normal despite persevering with our normal routine.

On naps, we have a long one from 9am, 1.5-2 hours and a shorter one in the afternoon.

Anyone know the best way for a 9 month old to nap?

Might she be ready to go down to two naps? Mine was fighting naps and when we went to two, sleep improved.

Might she be ready to go down to two naps? Am I reading the OP incorrectly? I thought it said that LO had a long nap in the morning and a shorter one later in the day?

There is a massive sleep regression at 9 months. If she used to sleep through, she might again soon without you doing much Smile

My nearly 10 month old's naps are exactly the same time and length as yours OP and our night sleep has definitely been more erratic recently (also returned from holiday combined with teething and a cold). I wondered if I need to limit the morning nap to an hour (sometimes he sleeps for over 2 and I wake him) to try for a longer one in the afternoon but who knows. I'm also going to try and push the morning nap to later to hope that he gradually just has one good nap over the middle of the day?? He starts nursery next week so I'm hoping they'll help with this by keeping him entertained!
