Yes, she only cries when its time for her to go to sleep. I do have an appointment scheduled for her 9 month check up at the end of the month. She's healthy so I'm not concerned. I enjoy holding her until she falls asleep. However, do I just let her cry once I put her down in the crib? And for how long? Or is there something else you suggest I do? How can I get her to fall asleep without crying and sleep longer? She usually only sleeps for about 20 - 30 minutes. So she doesn't sleep long. Sleeps only about 1 hour a day total. I don't think that's enough for a 9 month, is it?
