8 week old sleep
Hi!
My 8 week old will not nap anymore past 6/6.30pm
The trouble is, she is then very fussy and tired .
Is this a sign she wants an earlier bedtime?
At the moment she goes to sleep around 10pm.
Just worried she will start waking in the night to feedbif bedtime is much earlier at the moment

My boy when he was this age also went to bed around 7pm but we’d always wind down around 6/6:30pm or earlier if he showed signs of being sleepy. Maybe try associating the words or actions you perform before putting little one to bed with sleep time; me and my partner use “bedtime” and sleepy time” as cues for bedtime. Doing the same as others may work but not every baby is the same, possibly a sleep regression? Maybe try the earlier bedtime for a few nights and see if her sleep improves x best of luck mama, you got this! ☺️☺️
Sounds like she may need to go to bed earlier (around 7pm is usually a sweet spot for littles). And then if she did get hungry and wake for a feed you could treat it as a dream feed x

Around this age I found my little girl always went to sleep around 7/7:30pm. She’s now just 4 months and has stuck to this routine x
