Sleep Schedule for an 11 month old! 🫠

I feel like I cant get a good schedule set for my son. His naps are twice a day sometimes or a really long one from late morning to early afternoon. Either way he is still waking up 7-8 times throughout the night. Any suggestions? He usually is fully wake around 7AM and wont go down until around 8-8:45.

Hey! So this is just a very akward time. They’re extending their wake windows (my daughter does 3h 15min, 3h 30min, 5h) and the only thing you can do right now is either wake them up even earlier or cap their naps. 1h each for example. That will still get you a bed time of no earlier than 7:30pm. The next step is transitioning to one nap. Once they turn 1 they might be ready. My girl wakes up at 7:30am and goes down at 9:30pm because she needs to much awake time now to stay asleep the whole night. For the sleep pressure to accumulate. The downside is that she has a very late bed time BUT she gets enough awake time this way and she’s asleep the whole night until 7:30am when we wake her up. So extend wake windows, wake up them earlier or wake them up earlier from naps. Those are your options. Sometimes you need to do more than one of these things

My LO sleep really good at night but gets two bottles but don’t wake up and I know when is the time to gives her the bottle.. sleep from 6-30-6:30am only one nap sometime 2hrs but still goes to bed at 6:30

yes, because she’s on that one nap schedule 😁 that’s why. With two naps the day will be elongated.

My son had this problem. He’s almost 11 months old. I had to limit him to one long nap in the day which he takes after being awake for 3 hours in the morning. He sometimes wants to sleep around 4 or 5 but I don’t let him lol if I do he’s up late and the night is rough and he wakes up later too so it throws him off schedule! Try to see how he does with just one nap. And also try to see how he does with white noise. My friend gave me one as a gift from Amazon it’s a basic one. I started using that for his naps and bedtime overnight. He’s a very light sleeper and white noise has helped him.

We had to transition from two to one nap because she was waking for extended periods at night ... she gets up 730 , naps 11:30 to 1:30 and goes to bed at 730. We've always had to push her last wake window otherwise she doesn't sleep.

great! Yes! That’s exactly what one needs to do to keep baby asleep at night

My son wakes between 8 and 9 and then naps around 1-2pm until about 4:45 when he knows dada is coming home and then he is awake until 10:30ish. Sleepsthrough the whole night unless he has a bad dream or someone opens the front door lol. No other noise bothers him. But if I wanna go down the hall to the bathroom, (we live in a sort of Comune setup with a shared bathroom)then he's wide awake and upset I left.

We are having this problem as well. We have my daughter down for one nap a day now. She usually is up at 8 and take a nap from 11:30-1:00, then she goes to bed at 7/7:30. And she’s still up atleast 4 times a night. Do you feed back to sleep? Our doctor recommended we remove night time feedings. Which has been really hard because now my daughter is in the habit of waking up for feedings because we pretty much trained her to do so. Maybe that could be the problem? Ours was waking up 7-8 times as well and I’m finally down to 4 times hoping to slowly eliminate those night time feedings.

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

Help meeee

!!All advice welcome!! My 5 month old (nearly 6mo) is just not sleeping . Not for naps and not at night . She can’t connect her cycles . We started sleep regression at 3 months but in like how is this nearly been going on for a further 3 months . Like surely not . She has 10 min naps in crib ( which take so much effort ) and maybe 20/30 min naps in my arms/pushchair . She wakes minimum every hour at night with guaranteed false start 20 mins in . I combo feed. I breastfeed her until almost asleep then place her in the next to me crib give her the pacifier and put my hand on her cheek/face for 20 seconds and she drifts off . It’s not really getting her to sleep that’s the issue it’s she just won’t stay asleep . She doesn’t even need to feed much at night usually 1-2 breastfeeds . The rest is comfort wakes needing her pacifier or my hand on her cheek . I’ve looked into sleep associations and independent sleep and I broke the feed to sleep association and rocking and do bedside comforting instead for most wakes which has now lead to my hand being a sleep association on her face . I’m just so exhausted my husband is working mon-fri 9-9 and it’s just me . I haven’t had more than 4 hours in a row since her birth . I can’t get anything done during the day . She is so clingy and cries if I leave room /put her down etc. I love her so much but we both need rest . If anyone has any tips or a routine that could help PLEASE tell me I’ll try anything 🥲❤️❤️

Feeding to sleep

FTM here! 👋

Are you guys feeding your baby to sleep?

I just read feeding to sleep is creating bad habit and baby will always cry etc when awake at night expecting to get bottle before falling asleep again. 🤔
It said should feed the baby, give a bath (or not) and then put to sleep.
I do other way around - bath, pjs/lotion, rock to sleep and feed at the same time and then baby falling asleep.
Am I creating a bad habit? Been doing it all the time really. 😳

Feeds

How many times a night are your little ones getting up? My daughter is every 90-110 minutes. I am absolutely exhausted and don’t know how much more I can cope
