How's your 7 month old sleeping?
D was STTN. Now, not so much. I'm not sure if its growth spurt or teething or that we weened from the swaddle wrap, or all of the above.
But its getting so old.
Any advice is welcome.

Re: How's your 7 month old sleeping?
Mine is STTN but he refuses to nap at all during the day. We try and start bedtime around 7 and he is so overtired that it is usually close to 9 before we get him down. Sorry no advise but I feel your pain!
Luke has been going to bed around 9ish and getting up for the day around 6ish. He gets up once, usually between 4-5. We used get pick him up, rock him back to sleep, and ever so gently put him back in the crib. We recenly started going in, giving him a pacifier, and walking out. It works almost every time.
Perhaps trying a pacifier might help. We sneak into his room and try not to let him see us then put the pacifier in.
Good luck!

At 7 months Z was sleeping from 8pm until 7am. He would nap from 9:30am-11am and from 2pm-4pm.
He is a good sleeper and a good eater.
James sleeps like crap too now. He used to STTN from 6:00pm to 4am then eat and go back to sleep until 8am. Now he is up at midnight, 2, 4 6 and then up for the day at 8. I know he was teething and they still aren't all the way up, but I sure do miss the good night sleep I used to get. Last night he woke up at 1am SCREAMING and he refused to nurse so I had to rock him until he calmed down a little and pumped him full of pain reliever... NOT. FUN.
It's good to see I'm not alone!
I know I shouldn't be jealous because Evan really isn't a bad sleeper, but dayum I wish he would get some tips from Z!
DD STTN until about 6 months now she goes to bed at 6:30pm (same time has not changed), but is waking at 4am for a bottle. Luckly once she has finished the bottle she goes right back to sleep and does not wake up until 6:30am. So she is getting a good 11-12 hours in at night.
She is still napping great, which is awesome.
I remember DS going through something similar at this age and it took about two months to pass.
Love your siggy. lol

We had a rough patch around 6 to 6.5 months but now he's STTN. He dropped his last overnight feeding (generally around 4am) around 2 weeks ago.
ETA: I went against popular opinion and nap trained at 4.5 months and I also do not go in his room at night anymore (of course I go in if something's wrong though). He has 3 pacis in his crib and is a pro at finding them and putting them back in. He hasn't needed me at night in weeks now, and it got better once I stopped rushing into his room every time he made a peep.
