7 things to note about the 9-month-old activity schedule 

Around 1 year and 3 months, most babies have dropped their morning sleep. For the earlier babies, the baby will skip the morning at this time. If your baby has difficulty falling asleep at night, the mother can train her to not need a morning sleep.

I have been gradually increasing the amount of weaning food these months. Therefore, after meals, mothers should practice feeding babies with a cup or a straw.

Most babies should sleep through the night by the ninth month.

If you reduce the amount of milk and breastmilk are also less, you should increase the amount and meal of milk during the day, not increase the night.

Some babies wake up early at 5 a.m. If the mother does not feel too tired, she can start a new day's schedule for her child at that time (can be adjusted to extend morning sleep time).

A baby crying at night doesn't always mean he's hungry. Newborn babies often dream to sleep and cry every 1 hour. Therefore, if the baby cries, wait 2-3 minutes before intervening and not resolve by breastfeeding.

If you want to maintain breastfeeding for a long time, you may need 1-2 more meals at night.

Based on a 9-month-old baby's schedule combined with the baby's physical development, mothers can build for their own baby an activity schedule that is suitable for the family's conditions. Since then, it helps children to stabilize their eating habits and sleep better.
