Nearly 7 months - sleeping

Hey everyone. Does everyone have any tips / advice on routine / changes that may help to get my baby to sleep through the night. He slept through 8-5 at 3 months old, but since the 4 month sleep regression he wakes up through the night 5 or 6 times. He’s got 2 teeth, so I know it’s been a lot to do with teething however now it just seems he is waking for comfort & 2 sometimes 3 bottles! I’ve tried to give him more milk in the day, consistent nap routines and white noise 😩 any advice would be great, thank you!!!!! 🥰

Aww he is sooooo cute 😍😍. My LO is the almost the same age. He has just gone 7 months. They are starting to transition from 3 to 2 naps a day between 7 and 9 months old. Also they are going through so much development at this stage it can affect sleep. I sometimes give my LO three naps and sometimes 2 depending on the time he wakes up. I usually leave 2 hours after he wakes before nap 1, 2 hours 15 mins before nap 2 and 2 hours 30 mins before nap 3. Nap 3 is only 30 to 40 mins long. Then I leave 2 hours 45 mins before bed on a 3 nap day. On a 2 nap day he has 2 and a half hours awake before the first nap, 3 hours 15 mins before the second nap then 3 hours 30 mins before bed. I also go by his tired signals. If he is struggling I will just nap him early etc but it seems to be working for us. xxx

my LO turned 7 months the 12th &’ we had the same issue but we give her a warm bath with night wash and night lotion, give her a big bottle(you can add cereal) and she started to sleep all night !! but if we put her to bed before 10 she wakes up once in the night.

normally really well. His first two naps are 1 hour and a half and the last one is short. He goes down between 7pm and 8pm and sleeps until 6am or 6:30am. When it was hot he was waking for a drink but went straight back to sleep. He also wakes earlier when teething xx

Bottle refusal

EBF and deciding I want a bit more flexibility so wanted to introduce a bottle so I can go out more.

She used to take one three months ago. Now she flat out refuses and cries - doesn’t matter if it’s expressed breastmilk or formula. Tried it in a sippy cup as well. What can I do?

Formula suggestions

Hey! We are new to the United States and we are struggling to find a good formula, we are currently using bubs grass fed formula (pictured below) and we use Karicare (also pictured) back at home. We are looking for something similar that comes in a bigger can as the bubs one is only 20 OZ so we are having to buy 2 cans p/w

Those who use/used baby tracking apps - when did you stop using it

My girl is 18m and I don’t use to rely on it but more so out of habit I’ve realised
She has a set routine now really so I don’t need to use it but curious to know when others dropped
