9 Month Old Sleep Schedule

Is there a 9 month sleep regression? How long does the 9 month sleep regression last? #

Yes, we often see a regression around 9 months. It typically lasts a few weeks, and consistency in your baby’s routines and your approach to sleep are key to moving through it faster. Try not to introduce any new sleep habits you aren’t willing to maintain: new habits can cause long-term struggles after the regression is over.

How do I stop my 9 month old from waking in the night?#

Your baby may also lack the skills to sleep independently. Not sure how to teach this? The 5-24 Month Collection will help by giving you a step-by-step plan to 10-12 hours of night sleep in the crib. It’s an emotionally-connected, holistic approach covering bedtime, night wakings, night weaning, early morning wakings, and naps through the first two years of life. 

Does my 9 month old need milk at night? #

At nine months old, most babies can sleep 10-12 hours through the night without needing a feeding. If you have any specific concerns about your baby’s feeding needs, it’s always best to discuss that with your pediatrician.
