Sleep Tips for This Age

  • 9-month sleep regression may occur due to developmental leaps
  • Standing in crib is common - practice sitting back down during the day
  • Separation anxiety peaks - maintain calm, consistent goodbyes
  • Both naps are equally important for adequate rest
  • Early morning wakings suggest too-late bedtime or overtiredness
  • Teething may cause temporary sleep disruption
