9 month old frequent night wakings.

[Lottiebugz22]

Me again, sorry.
My dd is still waking all through the night every hour. I tried feeding her, checked her nappy, made sure she was warm enough.
Allot of people mentioned the 9 month sleep regression but it's been weeks now. Just over 6 weeks. She used to sleep through 7pm - 8am.

This is her daily nap schedule:

Nap in the morning after being awake for 2 hours she naps for 2.5 hours.

Afternoon nap after being awake 2-3 hours. She will nap for 1 hour usually.

Is she having too much nap time in the day maybe?

Would love some tips because I'm struggling on no sleep and I've got the flu now.

No tips as am in same position, but 3.5 hours of nap time in the day is probably a bit too much. It may be better for night time sleep if you try to make the main nap the lunchtime one, so she wakes up in the afternoon having had a long nap. I do this by waking my DD from her morning nap after 40 mins, then give her 3 hours of awake time before lunchtime nap, which is then usually 2 hours. If she hasn't woken up by 3.30pm on her own, I wake her up so that she's tired enough by bedtime at 6.45pm.

Ahhh I see.
Ill try that today thank you.
So do you think your baby is just going through the regression? It's just lasting a hell of a long time with my dd if it is.

Is she taking milk each time she wakes? Maybe it's habit. Have you tried offering water instead of milk? That's how we slowly got ours to stop frequent wakings st night around that age, knew they weren't hungry but woke out of habit for a milky cuddle. We have water and they realised it wasn't worth the bother!

That might be a bit too much daytime napping. My 9 month old sleeps for 1.5 hours in the day on average. Half an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. Ideally I'd like her to nap for longer but she won't! She does sleep 7-7 though. Maybe you can cut back on her daytime naps a bit?

Yeah I think I will cut the naps back.
No I offer her milk but she doesn't take it. She used to sleep so well. I miss those days haha.

My LO is 9 months and he's just started skipping his afternoon nap and he's sleeping MUCH better!! He will only wake if he loses his little binky blanket and I have to go in and give it back 🤣 he's been going to sleep an hour earlier too because of the skipped afternoon nap so he will have his tea at 5 and his bath around 5:30-5:45 and he's usually asleep about 6:30-6:45 and he's sleeping through until 6... which is good for me

Oh wow that is the dream

Ohh forgot to add his nap now is around 12ish for about 1.5 hours

Mines is doing similar and a tiny bit older. Down to separation anxiety. So we co sleep so we can all sleep!

As soon as I have her, she goes over! Then sleeps right through. Maybe this could be cause of your little one awakening.

@Lottiebugz22 this is a really resent thing but he started skipping his nap on his own

Yeah seperation anxiety could be be a possibility. How do you sort that out?

Were co sleeping until it passes. Its couple with teething atm so can see it going on a while.

Spent ages trying to ssh, pat and sooth with a dummy but she just wanted me so I brought her into bed and she sleeps right through.

Is she still in your room OP?

As in I put her down in her own cot first which is in our room then when she wakens hysterically then I bring her in. Usually sleeps for a few hours before the hysteria.

Used to sleep 12-13 hours in her own cot no problem but night time has changed a good bit. Just a phase but must be very difficult for you with broken and lack of sleep.

Yeah she's still in our room as we have problems with the other room that need sorting but the landlord won't do anything. It's all very frustrating. She had a 40 minute nap earlier compared to the 2.5 hour nap she usually has but now she won't drink her milk or eat and is grumpy. :(

Hello all :)
This is my first post, needing advice for my 9 month old . He still won’t sleep through the night, he has naps in the day varying from 30mins to an hour and 2-3 naps a day.
He eats loads of food and take his follow on milk well.
He can sometimes drink up to 18oz of formula a night!
Here’s things I’ve tried
-bedtime routine (bath,book,bed)
-baby rusk in the bottle
-faster flowing teat
-giving him water instead of milk

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you xx

Sleep train.
