Our Personal Experience
When our baby was 9 months old, we found that having a schedule helped us feel more organized and in control. We started by setting a consistent wake-up time, which helped us establish a routine for the rest of the day. We also made sure to schedule naps and meals around the same time each day, which helped our baby feel more secure and less fussy.
