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.

Omg me too! She’s also a light sleeper.

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.
