What does your schedule for your 9 month old look like/sleep routine?

Question

I swear once we hit the 4 month sleep regression, Poppy forgot how to sleep. She used to only get up once or twice a night. Everything I've read says she needs to be in bed at like 7:30. So we have been doing that for the most part after she wouldn't sleep week during the night. But now I feel like I should move it later. Idk. Right now-
6:15 dinner 
6:50 bath
7:15 a bottle/I nurse her
7:30 bed time

These are rough times. She will get up at like 8:30, 11, 1:30, 3 and then be wide awake at 4 until like 8:30. I'm so tired. Newborns at least go back to sleep. Lol. Any suggestions??

Answer

At 9 months, waking is probably habit by now. You need to work on breaking the routine of her waking up one, by one. I would definitely do some sleep training! This doesn’t mean CIO either. There are so many sleep training methods out there. Do your research and try one that you think will work for you and baby. Babies needs are ever changing so daytime schedules are always shifting. Bedtime routine is what matters most. Just stick with the same thing every night, at the same time every night. I always have followed the once down rule. 
My LO is 7 months and she takes three 2 hour naps a day and also sleeps through the night from 8-730/8 every night. Naps are not always perfect and we’ll have a day one of them is only a half hour or an hour, but she always sleeps through the night very solid. 
Are you feeding her when she wakes? Or picking her up?

Answer

Do you feed her at each wake up during the night?

Answer

My 6 month old has had the same nighttime routine since birth and has been sleeping through since she was 5 weeks. We then got her on a set day time/nap time routine at 4 months. We all wake up at 6am. Her naps are at 9am and 2pm and last 1.5 to 2 hours long. Maybe once a week one of those naps will last 2.5 to 3 hours. But that’s not often. Her bedtime routine starts at 7:30 with a bath. Her bath lasts maybe 15 minutes or so. It’s super quick. Then I lotion her up and change her into a clean diaper and pjs. She’ll then cuddle in bed with me and my husband while she has her last bottle for the night. By 8:15, she’s in her crib in her bedroom and passes out almost instantly. She doesn’t wake up again until 6am. We’ve kept this routine 100% consistent from day one. Especially through regressions. We just moved her to her own room (from a pack n play in our room) a few weeks ago and she handled the transition great!  During regression periods she’ll get a bit more restless at night but all I do is give her a pacifier and rub her back for a couple min to put her back to sleep. I don’t talk to her or pick he up or feed her or anything like that. Completely consistent. Normally these “regressions” only last a few nights and then she’s back to normal.
