Maybe a stupid question

I put my little boy down every 3/3.5 hours... Usually has 2 naps

No not a stupid question at all! I was the exact same and then my baby started just not napping at all and would get overtired and nothing would really get her down that easily. Sounds abit silly but honestly following her wake window time for her age works a dream and then just making sure we follow a similar routine best I can, so i think for her age (she’s also 9 months) her wake window should be between 2.75 and 3.75 hours. In the morning she goes down for her morning nap after 2hours and then her afternoon one is usually after 3 and a half hours! (obviously gunna be real here and say it doesn’t always go to plan especially if we’re out doing things!) but i always put her white noise machine on, shut her blinds, read her a book and sometimes give her milk then just put her in her cot and sometimes she’ll self soothe but that has taken loads of practice so don’t stress! it takes time🫶 hope that made sense and helped in some way! sorry for the long winded reply! remember every baby

is different and this may not work for you! and that’s completely okay! good luck xx

Whenever my baby rubs his eyes I know he’s getting tired so I pop him in his pram and he will fall asleep

Thanks . We trying get her in more of a routine and used to being put down for naps and not using milk to sleep . Love any tips! As she’s in nursery next month. Today , I’m going stay close to home most day (and next few days to help her ). Today I give her milk until she was drowsy , then wiggled her a little so she was awake when put her in cot (just). I had to use a dummy though. She’s never been a fan of white noise so just made it dark. She’s also now only sleeping for 30 mins during day. So need to figure something out.

I wait till he is showing tired signs. Which is usually when he starts climbing me and asking for milk, rubbing his eyes and being grumpy. We put him in his cot and sit away from him while he falls asleep, we have gone from feeding to sleep to this though and it’s taken a lot of work. He does 45mins-2hrs

My LB naps twice a day, usually every 3/3.5hrs. Nap lengths vary but at the moment we have finally got each one about an hour. We used to have a cat napper. Then aim for 3.5/4 hours before bedtime

Thanks , looking at it seems she sleeps every 3/3.5 hrs . She just will only sleep for 30/40ml a each time !

We are now on a strict schedule and it works really well for us. She’s 9 months old 7amwake up 9:30-11 nap 1 2:30-4pm nap 2 7:30 pm bed

@Amanda this is almost bang on exactly the nap schedule we’re on x

@Jodie can I ask what’s your food/milk schedule like? Xx

@Amanda Yeah of course! So obviously doesn’t go to plan every single time but generally it’s: 7am- wake up and milk (i still breastfeed so not sure on ounces etc) 8-8:30- breakfast 10:30-11ish- milk (after she wakes from her nap) 12:30ish- lunch 2ish- milk (just before her second nap) 4:00- snacks (if she wants them) 5:30- dinner 7:00- milk (just before bed)
