Hi all, I'm posting on behalf of my sister who is at her whits end with her 10 month old baby!
My niece is a very feisty and energetic baby. She usually wakes up at about 7:30, and isn't ready for a nap until 11. She generally takes one big nap till about 2, and refuses any attempts at a second nap even when she seems tired later on in the afternoon. Her parents try to put her down for the night at about 7/730 but she generally refuses until 9 pm. SHe also needs to be rocked to sleep for about an hour for both nap and bedtime.
So she definitely needs to learn to self soothe, would you generally recommend PD or PU/PD at this age? And where can i find the page with very specific instructions on how to go about doing it? And generally, is there any way to know how long and how many nights the training would take?
As far as naps, to me it seems like she might be OT but I dont know enough to advise what they should do. Can a 10 month old handle a one nap schedule?
Eagerly awaiting your advice. TY so much!
