If you are no longer stretching the morning nap, and find that baby has trouble making it all the way to bedtime, then yes, allow a third nap, but keep it really short -- you could try waking him up gently after 30 minutes. | |
| Nov 11, 2016 at 8:30 | comment | added | Mary-Sue | These are some very important tips. Especially on nutrition. About the napping: Two naps a day is usually enough for a 9-month old, but every child is different. Sometimes it is not easy to just eliminate a nap. If your baby is cranky for the rest of the day, go back to your previous routine. | |

| Nov 8, 2016 at 0:08 | comment | added | aparente001 | @Myles - 15 feedings per night for a baby of this age is just nuts. But it's difficult to say much about this without knowing the daytime feeding pattern and activities. // The take-home message: when baby can smell Mama, it is torture to say "No nursing!" | |
| Nov 7, 2016 at 16:25 | comment | added | Myles | Cutting out 1 feeding doesn't seem to work if the feeding schedule is unstable. 15 feedings in one night were unlikely to be consistently timed. | |
| Nov 7, 2016 at 8:37 | comment | added | aparente001 | @aaragon - I wasn't familiar with this author, but I took a look at Amazon's reader reviews. It looks as though the method book she wrote might be more helpful than the workbook. If I understood her basic method correctly, you start out sitting next to the child while he's falling asleep, and night by night back off foot by foot. I have done this with my children, but when they were somewhat older, not at 9 months. Mine would have gotten hysterical at that age. // If you could answer the questions I posed in the Answer, I think I could say something more useful. | |
| Nov 7, 2016 at 8:16 | comment | added | aaragon | Thanks for your reply. We realized fixing our issue won't be easy at all, so we bought the following book: The Good Night, Sleep Tight WORKBOOK. I am hoping that the material in this book can teach us how to handle this particular situation, though I'm not very optimistic. Do you think this will help? Are you familiar with this book? | |
