What should I do
Most of the time if I google a situation it just tells me “have a good routine” and “don’t let the baby get overtired” but I can never find real answers for what to do TODAY when everything is messed up 🥴 pls help
9 mo awful sleeper, woke today at 5 am and took naps from 8-9:30 and 1-2. Do I try to fit in another nap and just have a late bedtime? (If we do bedtime before 7:30 we end up with split nights) or do I just take the L and put her to bed at 5:50 like I’ve calculated based on her normal cues and deal with the split night?

That’s the 9 month sleep regression. Following bc they are killing me as well. For my LO when I notice a regression I give her plenty of stimulation and time to physically get tired. That usually does the trick But even so the extra nap and late bedtime tends to help.

My daughter is 16 months now and I ALWAYS lean toward late nap/extra nap and late bedtime. It just seems to work better for her. If she goes to bed too early, she ends up with a split night or she sleeps 30 minutes and treats it as a short nap. So I definitely vote short nap (30ish minutes) and later bed time! I’m no expert by any means but that has always worked better for us!
