Huge progress with sleep training but re hard to conquer 9 mth old

[welie]

I have started sleep training one week ago when his reflux is well controlled. He has never been a good sleeper before but with a combination of tummy rubbing and pupd, he has managed to do 8-9 .5 hours sleep at night, he is able to settle himself back to sleep around 12pm to 1amand with 30 min pupd, habitual wk at 3:30 am is gone. Instead, he wakes up around 4:30am for three days. The first day, i bf him and he was asleep till 7am.day two, i resettled him with a few seconds of cuddlr and some water. day three wk at 5:30, bf him but wk  one min after put down, then hard to settle to sleep in bed untill 6.Yesterdau, wk at 4:30 am again and gave him some water was in bed calmly but start ccrying as if hard to be asleep deeply.cried for one hour with minimal cuddle asleep at 5:30 and stayed asleep till 7:20 when I open curtains. Will post routine later. Thx

Well  i  think  his reflux  is  under control .he hoes down easily  at 8pm  but problems settling  with naps and early nw ing .he no longer wk happily  with any naps now  and screams  with tears after  wk  ,i will  have to  hold him  for  a while  for him to calm down …could it be  separation  anxiety ?

Hi hon- So how is he settling for naps now- independently? I think sme bubs at this age can get a little fussy with the PM nap as they will be heading into 2-1 territory very soon. Can you APOP that PM nap at all? We often did the second nap in the car or the stroller. You could do it in the carrier?
