Babies: 6 - 9 Months

Talk to me about sleep patterns

DS (7mo) may be trying to drop a nap. I have been really pushing for his last nap and now he is having a hard time going down for bed in the evening. I am thinking about easing up and letting him ride through to bed time. Though I have also read that there is a sleep regression around this time that coincides with learning to crawl and sit up which he is right in the middle of. 

Usually sleep looks like this:

Wake at 5:30a

Nap 7:30

Nap 10:30

Nap 2:30

Bed routine starts 6:30, in bed by 7 

What has worked for you in helping your little ones through these sleep transitions? Just rescheduling? Pushing naps further apart? Just looking to help my little guy figure out his routine. TIA!

  • i didn't start to get rid of the third nap until eight months but here is how my new schedule looks... 

    my LO is also an early riser... when he wakes anytime in the five o'clock hour, i always try to make that first nap around eight. </

  • 5:30?!  Holy moly! that's early!  When my son wakes up at that time (every once in a while) I rock him back to sleep.  No way would I let him get up for the day that early!  My boy sleeps til 7-8.  Then  he only naps 2 naps.&
