What time does your 3-4m old go to sleep and what time is their last sleep session before staying awake for a couple of hours?

Our max wake window currently is 2 hrs, and latest bedtime is 8:30 so we cap the last nap at 6:30 pm. He then sleeps from 8:30 pm to about 7/7:30 am, he still doesn’t sleep through the night but only needs patting/putting back paci/rocking since we were able to wean him off night feeds. So he eats a 5.5 oz bottle at bedtime and morning rise, the rest of the day he is breastfed and eats every 3-3.5 hrs.

Ahh I see! When is the next nap after 7/7:30am?

So he typically does a 2h wake window after his morning rise so 1st nap is around 9 am. The rest of the day he stays up for about 1h 45mins.

From what i read the shortest wake window is typically after that morning rise and for 3-4 month babies should be a minimum of 75 mins. But every baby is different, I use the Huckleberry app to track and found that a 2h wake window before
Bedtime and after morning rise is what works best for him, gets him tired enough so he goes to sleep easier.

She has a nap around 5pm until 6pm she will have a bottle around 7pm and asleep by 7.30pm and she will then sleep until 7.30am with no wake ups, she's very regular with feeds and naps

Usually down for last nap around 4 and up by 4:30-4:45. Then we start bathtime at 6 and she is asleep by 6:45/7. Usually wakes up 12 hours from the time she goes down and is back asleep about an hour later. She occasionally wakes up around 5 and takes a bottle and is back down until like 8:30. The remaining wake windows are about 75-90 mins and she usually only naps for 30-40 mins with an occasional 2 hour nap randomly once or twice a week.

how many 30-40 min naps does she do? For my baby to sleep longer naps she needs to be on me. We can swing shorter naps in the carrier and stroller.

My boys (4 months) last ends at 5 and they are down for the night between 6:30-7:30 waking around 6:30-7:30 and next nap after waking at about 9.
My twin B usually sleeps second and wakes first.

usually 3-4 naps. We went through a period where she was fighting sleep and only sleeping like 15 mins before getting up 🥴. But she seems to be getting back into a routine 🤞🏽. We use the Merlin magic sleep suit and sound machine. Our routine is to rock her to sleep for about 10mins before transferring her to the crib. Sometimes it’s flawless other times she starts screaming and we start the process over again.

Baby goes down 10:30/11pm wakes around 4/5 am, back down till 8am, I pull him into bed, nurse, back down till 10am, nurse, back down till 12pm then we get up for the day😅 idk why ppl put their babies down so early and wake at 7am lol. Unless you have a job or other kids. My Taurus baby loves to sleep n me too lol

how did you wean him off those night feeds? I’m about the same time wise, but he still needs the night feed around 2-3

My twins go to bed around 9:30pm and take their last bottles between 8:30-9. They both sleep through the night until 8-9am

I followed the book 12 hrs of sleep by 12 wks but I think the approach is pretty similar across different sources. So main thing is sticking to your baseline, so if baby feeds 4 ozs at 2 am, try slowly pushing that time everyday say 2:05, 2:15 etc. if for example he naturally wakes up at 3:30 am then that is your new baseline. If next day he wakes up at 2:30 am again then try other ways to soothe him (shushing, patting, paci, rocking, etc.) to get him to 3:30. Then the closer he gets to that 7/7:30 feed then lessen the amount, maybe give 0.25-0.5 ozs less every hr he gets closer to his wake time. It’s a little more challenging if breastfeeding but same concept, you would just lessen nursing time instead of ozs.

Of course there are exceptions, like if baby is sick and only way to get back to sleep is feeding, and that’s okay it typically doesn’t become a habit until you do it for 3-5 consecutive nights.

Hope that made sense 😅

it does and super helpful thank you for sharing

if I put my boys down at 7 or at midnight they was waking up at 7 either way lol

bless you I would CRY!
