Advice for sleep training (or other methods) for naps?!

Question

My baby turns 9 months this week. Gets one to three naps a day, no schedule, not in crib usually we hold him or in car. At daycare it is in crib but they have trouble too. Often just gets one. Always short (30-45 min). Help!

Answer

Mine will be nine months on may 8th and this is our schedule.

8-830am- wake up play with mommy in bed diaper change
830-9am- 4 to 6 ounce bottle
9am-930a- 2-to 4 ounces of puree fruit for breakfast
930a-1030a- play and crawl practice walking. Runs around in walker while mommy does some house work. 
 1030a-1100a in playpen for his nap, wind down
~1100a-1230ish pm- nap time and mom works from home on laptop
1230- 1p- diaper change 4-6 ounce bottle
100-130p- 2 to four ounce vegatable lunch
130-300p-play and crawl practice walking. Runs around in walker 
330-4p- bottle 4-6 ounce
4-430p-diaper change wind down
~430-6p nap
600p-630- change diaper play
630-7p- 4-6 ounce bottle
700-730 2-4ounce meat and veggies dinner
730-8p- bath lotion story rock til sleepy then bed in crib
He usually wakes up one time in the middle of the night between 3-5 eats a 6-8 ounce bottle and is back to sleep with in a half hour
7am- I move him into my bed when dad goes to work
8am- we start all over again

Everyday is a little different but I try to stay to the schedule as much as possible. He is a very good baby. When he is sick, teething or having a growth spurt the schedule is almost none existent. But we are trying our best everyday and that's all I can do.

Answer

It will take time but a schedule is a must. Also try to have a consistent place where they sleep.

Look up the 2,3,4 sleep schedule. It has worked wonders for our naps and bedtime.
