Ha!
Clearly outline what safe sleep consists of. Ask parents if they want to work together with you to solve this issue. Their answer will guide your next steps. If they say "yes" then have a list of non-negotiables: sleep in safe sleep environment only, consistent bedtime, etc. At 11 months of age, the child is too old to have inconsistent sleeping times. It WILL be a struggle to implement consistency, but the payoff will be worth it (stress that point). If parents aren't on board with your suggestions (you are the expert!), then the suggestion quoted above is great.
