What is happening 🤦🏼‍♀️9 month old

Afternoon everyone,

My lo is finally sleeping until 7am/730am whoop whoop, only taken 9 months.

Though now her naps have gone crazy, along with all her times she used to have milk and solids. She won't sleep until 10am if not 1030am in the morning. Waking by 11.30am.

Then she refuses point blank to go sleep till 245/3pm sleeping either 45mins or till 415pm. Which creates bedtime 745pm till 8pm. Which is not an issue, but this morning nap is getting later and later then in turn the afternoon nap is later ... Surely she can't be ready to drop to one nap in the near future? I thought it was like over 1 year old?

She's not crying, not overtired (as she would wake hour after bed and early morning) self soothes for all naps and bed.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated thank you.

That's sounds normal to me. She's sleeping loads in the night so won't need really long naps. Around 11 in the morning and again around 3 I'd say for up to an hour each time. Breakfast lunch and dinner

Great thanks. I just stick with it for a while and go with flow. Thank you

Second nap was hit and miss for DD1 at this age, and she’d only do 28 minutes for the morning one. Slept 6-6 with one wake. Looking back, I think she just only needed around 12 hours sleep in 24hours, so as she was getting it at night she didn’t take it in the day.

Different babies definitely have different sleep needs - on DD1’s nursery day there was a boy with the exact same birthday as her who had 2 x 2 hour naps and slept 12 hours solid at night. I did want to ask his parents what their secret was!
