A split night… what does that actually mean? 🌙

It’s when your baby wakes during the night and stays up for a long stretch, usually 1.5 to 3 hours, and is completely awake. This is different from a quick wake for feeding or a diaper change. Some babies are content and playing in the crib, while others are upset but just can’t settle back to sleep and seem ready to start the day 😵‍💫

So why does this happen?

The most common reason is a mismatch in your baby’s total sleep across a 24 hour period. Simply put, too much daytime sleep can reduce how much sleep your baby needs overnight.

When that balance is off, nighttime sleep can get broken up into two separate stretches instead of one longer, consolidated night.

Most babies need about 12 to 15, sometimes up to 16, hours of sleep in a full day. If your baby is getting 5 or more hours of naps, they may only need 7 to 8 hours overnight. That can show up as long night wakings or early mornings.

A few ways to help:
💡 Try capping naps to build more sleep pressure for nighttime 💤

💡 Look at whether your baby may be ready for a nap transition, which means more awake time and less daytime sleep

💡 Make sure bedtime is appropriate. Too early can sometimes contribute to long night wakings

💡 Aim for a consistent morning wake time, around 7ish, to help regulate the day and build sleep pressure ☀️

If your nights are feeling long and unpredictable, you don’t have to figure this out on your own. I’d love to help you create a plan that actually works for your baby 🤍 Send me a message or book a free discovery call to get started 💬📞

Most of the families I work with don’t come to me because they haven’t tried.

They come because they’ve tried everything.

They’ve adjusted schedules.
Researched regressions.
Read the blogs.
Asked Facebook.

And they’re still exhausted.

Sleep struggles rarely improve with more information.
They improve with clarity, consistency, and the right plan for your baby’s age and temperament.

If your nights feel chaotic and you’re not sure what to change next, that’s exactly what discovery calls are for.

We talk through what’s happening.
I give you honest, developmentally sound feedback.
And you decide if personalized support makes sense.

You don’t have to keep guessing.

One of the most common concerns I hear is:
“My baby was sleeping great… and then everything changed.”

Infant sleep is not linear. As babies grow, wake windows stretch, sleep cycles mature, and awareness increases. When those developmental shifts happen, sleep can change quickly(sometimes seemingly overnight).

Often, the issue isn’t a regression. It’s a mismatch between your baby’s current sleep needs and a schedule or routine that worked in the past.

When wake windows are too short, babies may struggle to build enough sleep pressure. When they’re too long, overtiredness can creep in. Add in milestones, growth spurts, or evolving sleep associations, and those disruptions start to make sense.

The most important thing to remember: sudden sleep changes are information, not failure!

With thoughtful adjustments and the right support, sleep can absolutely stabilize again—for both you and your baby! 😴

Creating a predictable daytime rhythm for your 9 month old can make such a difference in naps, mood, and nighttime sleep. At this age, most babies do well with two naps and slightly longer wake windows as they become more active and alert.

A great place to start is a 3/3.5/3.5 wake windows schedule. This usually gives you:

😴 2.5 hours of daytime sleep
☀️ Wake windows that support solid, restorative naps
🛏️ A smoother, more predictable bedtime

This balance helps prevent both under-tired and overtired sleep struggles, keeping your little one regulated and ready for deeper sleep.

Every baby is unique, but consistency with wake windows and nap timing is key. If naps are short at first, stick with it! Their body clock adjusts more quickly than you think!

Someone recently commented on one of videos and said, “What’s the point of having a baby if you want nothing to do with them?”

Here’s the truth: wanting your baby to sleep independently does NOT mean you don’t love them or want nothing to do with them.

All babies are different. Some naturally learn to fall asleep on their own, while others need guidance and consistency and that’s perfectly normal! Evidence shows that teaching babies to sleep independently doesn’t harm attachment or emotional wellbeing. Secure bonds are built through love, responsiveness, and connection; not by how a baby falls asleep.

Good sleep supports your baby’s growth, emotional regulation, and memory and it supports you too! Well-rested parents are calmer, more present, and more confident in their parenting.

Every family is different, every baby is different, and that’s okay! Helping your baby sleep independently is one tool families can use to feel rested, confident, and connected.

You can love your baby deeply AND support healthy sleep. ❤️
