My nine months old baby wakes up several times at night what to do?
Answer:
if you've asked yourself all the normal questions & not found an answer then you need to try the controlled crying technique. It's great & it really works.
Teach your child to fall back to sleep alone
-check everything is alright and settle your child down with the minimum of talking
-do not give anything to eat & only water to drink if necassary
-do not take your child downstairs or into the parental bed
-leave your child and let him/her cry for a short period
-repeat the above routine gradually extending the time period before checking
-continue the routine each night until your child sleeps
-be prapared for this routine to take several nights or even a few weeks before it is effective
your baby could be, hungry, try giving him/her something to eat when he/she wakes up. or could be getting a tooth in. or maybe is scared of its surroundings, maybe put a nightlight in his/her room?
Does he eat solids before bed? I would try that. Also when he wakes up DON'T talk to him. Just comfort him Its hard yes!, but my son is 11 weeks and when he wakes up at night I change him feed him and burp him. I don't talk to him at all. He has been sleeping on average 9-4am! Good luck!

At nine months, a babies nervous system is sufficiently developed that he or she shouldn't need night feedings. My son is nine months and he usually sleeps through the night from 8pm to 7am. If he wakes up through the night, I usually wait for a few minutes to see if he will go back to sleep himself. If he doesn't and really starts to cry, I will go in and rub his back to comfort him. I try not to talk too much or pick him up. I stay there for a couple of minutes, then leave. Some times he protests me leaving but is usually back to sleep within 5 min. If not, I repeat the process and gradually increase the time before I go in. (This is what I do if I feel he is just waking up but is generally OK. If I think he is teething, or sick, I will usually stay with him until he's more comfortable)
Do they sleep in they're own room? If not, he/she needs to start. If you've been getting up with your baby every night for awhile, there's probably nothing you can do now. I had one of those baby's i used to get up with her every night and now she's three and still doesn't sleep through the night! Anyway, my youngest son sleeps through the night because he's in his own room with the door closed and when he wakes up at night we don't go in there. They need to learn to go back to sleep on they're own. If you're baby cries for more than 20 mins, at nine months, they are probably in pain from teething. I would go in there and give them some tylenol. If you think he/she's teething you could give it to them before they go to bed and it will help them sleep better. I know that sounds kinda crewl to drug your kid to sleep, but that's what my doctor told me and it's worked well for me.
If you are feeding your baby adequately before bedtime (cereal, baby food), they shouldn't require any food in the night (check out Riley Hospital's website). Riley's say that babies wake up, not because they are hungry, but b/c they can't put themselves back to sleep. Does your baby use a pacifier? If not, might want to try one. My 7 mo. old wakes up sometimes and I just plug him up with the pacifier and flip him back over onto his stomach (has always been a stomach sleeper despite majority rule). At that age, he should be sleeping soundly through the night.
I wouldn't get into the habit of picking him up. Big mistake. Don't even talk to him/her. I don't believe in letting a baby cry for more than a 5-10 minutes, so if what I stated doesn't work, then call your pediatrician.he may suggest a baby nightime medicine to relax him/her. Hate to use drugs though.
One more question. Do you have a very rigid nighttime routine b/f bedtime? Story, bath, playtime? Or do you let your baby go to bed at all hours? Routine is the key. Baby should be giong to bed for the night at around the same time every night. That's been the key with my babies. Current baby knows exactly what to expect..dinner, Little House on the Prairie (tee hee), bath time, bottle, then bed.
Good luck tired mommy.
give her/him sufficient food/milk before going to sleep and hug him/her, the warmness of ur body will give him/her feeling fully secured, she./he will not wake in the nights, unless they have any medical problem.
this is not final but general practice tip,
