My 9 months old lo usually sleeps around 11:30pm to 1am which is quite late. His last nap is usually around 5 to 6pm plus. Then he will stay awake all the way till bedtime. I have to pat him to sleep as he don't know how to self soothe. Sometimes he will sleep after having his last milk feed. Have tried to put him to bed earlier like 9:30pm but he refused to sleep. On few rare occasions he will sleep at 10:30pm when he gets tired but will wake up at around 2am for a milk feed. Any mummy got any idea to improve his sleeping habit? Thanks.

At 9MO, his maximum wake time is 3.5h if he's on 2 naps (3h if on 3 naps). In this case, he should already be asleep latest 930PM. Start bedtime routine at 830PM.

Hi Geraldine, really thanks for sharing! I will implement his bedtime routine at 8:30pm. :)
