8 month old schedule

I need advice or examples on a good schedule for an 8 month old. My son is all of a sudden not sleeping thru the night. I just want to see what y’all’s littles schedules look like so maybe I can try it and see if it works. I’m EXHAUSTED….. please help 🤍

what’s his bedtime? Sometimes you have to adjust with their wake windows. like my 8 month old bedtime is between 7-8 pm. wakes up around 6-7am takes 2 naps a day one around 9ish am and the other around 2pm

my son is kinda the same. Bedtime is around 7:30/8. Wakes at 6:30. First nap is around 9:30/10 then second nap is around 1:30/2. I’m wondering if I should make his bedtime later… he used to go to sleep around 8/8:30 but I made it earlier cuz everyone was telling me to put him to sleep earlier since I dropped a nap.

I’m just worried his last wake window will be too long cuz he is also a HORRIBLE napper, always been.

I try to get him to sleep 1 hour and a half to 2 hours for both naps but that rarely happens.

His naps are
10-11:30/11:45
2-3:30/4

how often is he waking? my son is still not sleeping thru the night bc I started crib training around 6 months after co sleeping 🫠 he’s used to being dream fed right near me so he wakes up looking for the boob lol. We will get there slowly. he sleeps half the night in his crib

I think you have a good schedule for him

he wakes up like 2/3 hours after I put him to bed so around 10/11 and then around 4:30 ish and then up at 6:30. I dont think he’s hungry. I started putting him in his crib around 6 months too and I don’t put him back in bed with us though, I’ve almost done it a few times though 🫠. I feel like he would sleep so much better with us hahaha

do you think if I put him to bed around 8/8:30 his last wake window is too long?

I think it is a bit long and he might be overtired so I would attempt 7pm

I put mine back in bed with us it’s so hard not to when i’m so tired 😩

Not all babies need a different sleep window when dropping naps. All 👏🏻 babies 👏🏻 are 👏🏻 different! is what I preach when people start trying to parent my kid for me. There IS a sleep regression 7-9 months, so your lil fella might be in it right now.

you know, I think my baby no matter how tired and long her wake window was she seems struggle to fall asleep before 7:45 I’ve been trying to do an early bedtime several times first bc 8- 8:30 it’s too late and we are exhausted, second bc she wakes up around 3 pm from her nap but today it’s just another day where we struggled to put her down at 7 and she ended up falling asleep at 7:36. So if your baby seems to do ok with the normal bedtime don’t move it too early.. my baby also started waking up every 3 hs again 😭 I really don’t know what to do
