What is your baby's nap schedule?

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

I feel like DS #2 is all over the map. he is a super light sleeper, plus we are always on the go with DS#1, so I feel like he is not getting enough sleep. He sleeps AWFUL at night: up every 2 hours or MORE, so I am wondering if his lack of naps is making it worse at night.

FYI-We cosleep, so him CIO is not really an option for night waking, unfortunately. (House is going on the market in the spring :)) In the meantime he is waking us ALL up all night!

    Here's DS's current (the last couple weeks) schedule, give or take 10-15 minutes here and there for shorter naps. He is 6 months old:

    Wakes at 7am and up for an hour.

    Nap #1: 8am-10am

    Nap #2: 12pm-1pm

    Nap $3: 3:30-5pm

    Bedtime: 7:30pm

    He still does 1 MOTN feeding anywhere between 3-5am.

    2 naps daily, 1 morning & 1 mid afternoon. I avoid naps after 4pm because DD had to have her sleep schedule adjusted to sttn.

    bedtime is around 7:30/8pm depending on her showing signs of tiredness. I have a schedule but I am laid back, except when it comes to naps after 4pm. That is an absolute no for her but each baby is different.

    Also I did cosleep for a bit. honestly the best thing for her was going to her crib with a dim nightlight & sleep sheep. I had to let her cio (no more than 5mins. 10 max) at first because she was so tired from not having a rhthym. Took a few days but she & I are ever grateful ;).

     Best thing I did was call my pediatrician for advice.

    2 naps: one around 11:30 and the second around 3:30. They last about 45 minutes. Some afternoons I can't get her down in the afternoon so she falls asleep nursing around 5. On those days we push bedtime back.

    on our normal schedule day, he gets three naps...

    awake around 6 

    8:00-9:30

    1:00-2:30

    4:30-5:15

    Bedtime is 6:30 

    but if we are busy, the schedule goes right out the window and he naps whenever he can or when he looks tired. :)

    When DS was your LO's age, he was still waking us up frequently for paci replacement. Ugh. I'm not sure what you can do to work on that when co-sleeping but I know some books do address it.

    As far as naps, when DS was your age, the longest he could go between naps was 2 hours. He has always been a cat-napper, but lately he is finally starting to nap for an hour at a time sometimes. (Can I get a hallelujah? haha) His wake-up time varied widely, so I just always made sure to keep track of the time. (I love the Similac Strong Moms app for this.)

    She's been napping consistently enough that I believe it's a routine now, at least I'm crossing my fingers. Her first nap is anywhere between 10:30 and 11:00. Her second nap is between 3:30 and 5. Her first nap is usually about an hour. Her second about 30 minutes. She goes to bed between 89 and wakes up for the day at 7:30. She's still waking up throughout the night multiple times though.
