I was just thinking that! Then again, my son didn't walk until 19 months and
my 8 month old daughter is nowhere near walking so maybe I'm just jealous of
this mummy with the super early walker? LOL

On the off-chance that it was supposed to be 19 and not 9 months, you guide
the sleepwalker back to their bed. It is not dangerous to wake a sleep
walker - that's an old wives' tale. DS used to have night terrors and this
puts him at risk of sleep walking later so I did some research. It may even
be safer to wake a sleep walker, particularly if they get themselves near
stairs or turn on the oven or hot plates, get into the refrigerator and then
mysteriously start piling on weight but don't remember eating, etc. With a
toddler sleepwalking it's best to just close their bedroom door and make
sure there is nothing lying on the ground that they can trip over. You can
lay out a mattress or blanket on the floor so they have a spot to go to
sleep if they are too short to get themselves back into bed. The
sleepwalking would indicate that the child is in a normal bed. You might
want to put her back in a cot so she can't get out, unless she's a climber,
in which case leave her in the normal bed, lay out a mattress or blanket for
her to sleep on after she gets out of bed, make sure there are no toys or
other objects on the floor so she can't trip and hurt hurself and close the
door so she can't leave the room and get into trouble.

If she's just getting out of bed and sleepily walking to your room and
getting in your bed - that's not sleepwalking. That's normal toddler
behaviour who wants to be with mummy and/or daddy.

Put her in a crib or something similar (playpen?) when it's time to sleep.

LOL, my thoughts exactly! My DD didn't walk until 14 months old. I can't
remember when she started walking while holding onto our hands, it was a few
months before I guess, or maybe even before age 1. I know someone whose son
started **running** at 7 months old. !!! He seemed to skip walking, and went
straight to running. One thing I noticed about DD is that she walked later
than a lot of kids, the average age seems to be around a year but lots of
kids walk earlier, too, but she started walking later at 14 months old, and
she never fell down much. A lot of the babies that started walking early
were really wobbly and would fall down a lot. She never fell. Um, the boy
who started at 7 months never fell either though- that was a sight to see,
such a tiny little toddler running!!!

Most of us are asking for clarification from you, and then chatting amongst
ourselves. That's what happens on Usenet.

You still have not really given information to exactly what the problem is.
Is the baby standing and moving about in it's crib? Where does the baby
sleep? Is the baby wandering down the hallways at 3am? Is the baby coming
into your room at night and getting into bed with you? How do you know the
baby is asleep? What exactly is happening, and what is the problem. Give
us the details, and we'll give you all sorts of information -- some useful
and some not! But at least we'll know what you are talking about.

Hm... I think I know of one baby under 1 that sleep walks. Yours does,
didn't you say? Easiest way to fix this problem: Put the baby to sleep in
a crib. That will avoid walking further than a foot or two around in the
crib. ;)

Okay, since the child is really indeed 9 months old, then I would put one of
those nets over the crib. I had to use one for my last child because she
walked at 10 months and I didn't want her getting out of the crib, since it
was upstairs and risk falling down the stairs.
