Do you want to see a big improvement in your baby’s sleep? Start working on a 9 month old schedule.
This daily pattern will trigger your child’s brain to release melatonin (the sleepy hormone) and help him take better naps.
Babies who don’t take good naps get overtired, and overtired babies are grumpy babies. The better rested your baby, the happier he will be. My free 9 month old schedule will give you the necessary tools to nudge your baby into better daytime and nighttime sleep.
Use These Sleep Averages for Your 9 Month Old Schedule
The first place to start is to understand the average sleep numbers for a nine month old. This way you can see what numbers you’re shooting for.
- Total sleep needed every night: 11 hours
- Total sleep needed during the day: 3 hours
- Number of daily naps: 2 to 3
- Maximum length of time he can stay awake before cortisol kicks in: 2 to 2.5 hours
Your next task will be to take those numbers and place them inside the formula of your child’s day. You will want to keep a Sleep/Feeding Log for a few days to help you spot your child’s natural patterns. Usually that looks something like this: Wake, Play, Sleep, Eat (and then repeat until bedtime).
Remember, our goal is not to create a strict 9 month old sleep schedule, but a flexible rhythm! Request your free copy below and I’ll email your worksheets straight over.
Our Sleep Training Program Has a
110% Money Back Sleeping Guarantee
Yes, you read that correctly. We have the only sleep training program that offers you more than a refund. Now we BOTH have skin the game. We’re both leaping off the Cliffs of Insanity, I just happen to know how to sew parachutes. (Metaphorically, of course. Skydiving sounds terrifying.)
The Super Sleeper Full Coaching Program will help you overcome the sleeping hiccups that keep you stuck in a cycle of exhaustion.
We will teach you how to…
- Wean away extra unwanted night feedings
- Get your baby used to sleeping in the crib
- Develop stronger daytime naps for your baby
- Help your baby sleep later in the morning
- Eliminate nighttime wake-ups without using traditional cry-it-out
Yes, my friend, it is possible to proactively teach your baby to sleep all night long without forcing yourself to sit on your hands in the living room while your tiny banshee wails down the walls.
“Amy and Heather are nonjudgmental, caring, and invested in making sure you have the tools you need to help your baby sleep. My son now sleeps 8pm to 7am and there’s no fussing when we put him to bed awake—he knows it’s time to wind down on his own. Hallelujah!”

Talking with a Certified Gentle Sleep Expert Will Change Everything
You’ve been “winging it” for long enough. It’s time to sit down and really talk with someone who can confidently answer the question of “When do babies sleep through the night.” Let us listen to your situation, get to know you and your baby, and then make some recommendations. Nothing can give you hope like a plan!
Here’s how our Full Sleep Training Program works. (You know, the one with the 110% Money Back Sleeping Guarantee. I’m not sure I’ve mentioned that…)
Step 1: Schedule Your 1.5 Hour Consultation
After your purchase, you’ll be directed to another website so you can schedule a private 90-Minute Consultation with Certified Gentle Sleep Coach Amy Estell.
Step 2: Fill Out Some Paperwork
Amy’s assistant will email you several documents to fill out so we can get to know your family a little better. This Health Assessment allows Amy to do a lot of the prep ahead of time, making sure that we’re not wasting any of your valuable consultation time.
You will also get a Full Sleep Training Program Workbook for you to print off and use during your Consultations and Follow-Up Calls (see Step 3!).
Although most of your direct work will be with Amy, she and I discuss every case together. Two Certified Gentle Sleep Coach heads are always better than one!
Step 3: Talk with Amy Regularly!
After your Consultation is over, you will have a Sleep Plan written down in your Sleep Training Program Workbook. But don’t worry, you’re not on your own! We are going to go way beyond your standard 9 month old schedule. We’re going to talk about everything.
As a part of your purchase, you will also receive eight 20 to 30 minute Follow-Up Phone Calls with Amy so we can regularly check on your progress and make tweaks along the way.
Some parents don’t end up needing all eight calls, having met their sleeping goals early on. If this happens to you, you can either bank those calls for later use or I can issue a refund for the unused calls, whichever you prefer.
See how easy this is?
“She goes down so amazingly easy now. You just turn off the lights, turn on the sound machine, put her in her crib and walk out. She’s asleep within minutes! Talking things through with Heather & Amy really encouraged me.”

Don’t Use Our Sleep Training Program If You Aren’t Really Ready
(And That’s Okay)
We would love to have you as our next sleepy family, but before you jump in, you should know that our sleep training program isn’t for everyone.
Sleep training isn’t easy. Your child isn’t going to want to start sleeping on his own. It’s okay if you’re not ready. Just stick with your free 9 month old schedule and see if just that tiny tweak does the trick!
Our methods are gentle, but they are not tear-free. (Honestly, even so-called books that talk on the cover about being “no cry” admit there’s crying if you read them…)
They are gentle because we teach you how to actively encourage your baby as he learns these new sleeping skills. He DOES, though, have to learn these sleep skills, which means he’s may not like you for a while. (That said, he will always love you.)
Let me make you a few promises:
- We will teach you a variety of soothing skills that (I’m betting) you’ve never tried before.
- You CAN pick up your child during the coaching! We just have a few guidelines to make sure that pick up means something.
- The more consistent you are in those first few nights, the faster your child will get it and you’ll see results.
You have to get through the fire in order to actually get through the fire, but be comforted that we will be with you every hot step along the way.
Go Beyond the Standard 9 Month Old Schedule & Invest in a Professional
Okay, so who are we, anyway? Just two moms who have a couple of kids who somehow slept through the night eventually? What makes our knowledge any different than the advice you get from your Mom’s Group?
A certificate, lots of experience, and a tushload of invested money. This is our profession, not a side hobby. Here’s what makes our sleep training so different from than the other (non-certified, non-gentle) sleep coaches you find online.
We have studied directly under The Sleep Lady herself, Kim West, and have learned to spot possible medical issues, as well as gentle weaning techniques for every sleeping issue under the sun moon. We always have access to Kim if we need an outside perspective. (Three Certified Gentle Sleep Coach heads are better than two…)
Amy and I had to pass a written exam and complete multiple pro bono supervised case studies to show a strong grasp of the concepts. We also have to pay a yearly re-certification fee and take continuing education classes to confirm that we are up on the latest sleep research for children!
As Certified Gentle Sleep Coaches, we have had to complete over 80 hours of coursework under medical doctors, a psychologist, attorney, lactation consultant, doula, and a family therapist. Together, we have over six years of GSC experience and have helped hundreds of happily sleeping families.

Hi Heather,
I wanted to be sure to pass along feedback to you on how our sleep coaching experience was, particularly working with Amy.
First, let me say we worked briefly with another sleep coach last year and as far as your process goes, you guys blew us away! You were so thorough, so organized, and so accessible. It was a remarkable difference from what we’d experienced in the past and was such a breath of fresh air in terms of the challenges we were facing. Everything from the assessment up front to the pacing of the consultations…the whole thing was exactly what we needed.
In regards to {removed}’s sleep progress…wow. We are beyond encouraged. He is finally getting the sleep we know he’s needed all along and he has learned so much about sleep skills. We are so proud of him. And in addition to that, we feel so much more confident in our ability to help him now and in the future. We recognize now some of the reasons why he encounters sleep troubles, how to avoid them, and how to address them when they inevitably come up. We just feel so much more “in control” of our lives now—for everyone’s benefit! It’s such a blessing.
And Amy. To put it simply, we LOVED her. She was so easy to work with, so patient with us (our questions, worries, etc), provided the insight we needed into what the real issues were, and the encouragement we (especially me!) needed to stick to the plan to feel good about what we were doing. She is the reason sleep coaching with {removed} went so well.
My husband was a little skeptical about the idea of a sleep coach before I begged him to do this, and a few days after we were done, he walked in after putting {removed} to bed and said, “That was the best money we’ve spent in a long time.” We already have recommended Amy (and will continue) to a couple of different friends. We are both so happy with Amy and so happy with your service!
