9 month old nap time/schedule?
« on: December 09, 2005, 02:05:46 am »
Wondering how long other babies are awake between naps at 9 months old and do you go by the clock (like 9am and 1pm) or by the number of hours awake at this age?

9 month old nap time/schedule?

we reached the set nap times stage i think between 7-8 mo and assuming her wake time is no earlier than 6:30 and she is not ill  (in both cases will affect her routine) she goes down at 9:15 for 45 min - 1hr 30 depending on her (get her up whenever she wakes and it is usually 45 min) and then at 1:15/1:30 for anything up to 2hrs 15 min (usually 1hr 30) and bedtime 7:30

otherwise her A times are generally 2 1/2 hrs , then 3- 3 1/2 hrs, then 4- 4 1/2 hrs

Bec she often naps 1:30 - 3 (or 3:30 if i am blessed every so often) but as long as she sleeps to at least  2:45-3pm i know i can stick to my routine which is
5-5:30 dinner solids
6ish alex watches a DVD or plays and liv hangs with her  :D
6:30 or so Dh offers her some of the bottle while i run their bath
6:45 or so girls bath time
7-7:10 Liv out of bath and Dh creams her up and gets her ready for bed and gives rest of bottle
in bed between 7:15-7:30

this has been her evening routine for months now - the difference is that now she copes better with 4+ hrs awake at the end - although she is sometimes cranky from 6:30 but we just get her in bath asap and the bottle is what she is loooking for anyway (we have almost always done bottle/bath/bottle i find it takes the edge off so she enjoys her bath instead of grumbling because she wants the bottle) if she seems tired/rubs eyes in the bath we cut her time in their short and push up bedtime closer to 7  HTH
