When did the sleep improve?
My baby is nearly 7 months and slept well for the first 3 months, sleep regression hit and went downhill. He can put himself to sleep but hasn’t made a huge difference although sometimes in the night he does drift back off. The naps I’ve been doing are:
Morning - 45 mins
Lunch - 1.5-2 hrs
Afternoon- 30 mins
He tends to wake most after 1 and sometimes can be awake for ages if it’s around 3 or 4am. Sometimes he’s gone from a feed at 7 and then not taking for another till 12 so j can’t work out what I’m doing wrong. I’ve started weaning him so tonight maybe that’s having an effect on his tummy a bit. When did your babies start to sleep better? He’s a fairly good napper, seems to be night. Also I find he will have his nap and if I go out in the car/ pram an hour and a bit later he falls asleep but don’t know how to prevent this unless I stay in all the time!

Yes I have been waking him from them most of the time! 3 days a week his morning and afternoon naps are in the car as I take my other child to nursery so they have to be. I have thought about dropping the nap for sure as there are days when I struggle to fit all 3 in. The only thing I know he will fall asleep in the car so guess that counts as third nap. I’m going to try it today though, anything is worth a go at this stage. I can’t handle anymore 3/4 am wakes for an hour plus :(
Also how long are the two naps you give her?

Are you waking him from his naps? My girls wake windows are 3,3.25 then 3.5/4 hours before bed. She only has 2 naps now. Shes 7 months on the 11th. You could potentially extend his wake window in the morning and leave him to sleep longer if you’re waking him to try and cut to 2 naps a day. I was obsessed with her having 3 naps because it says online they need at least 3 till 7m+ but I cut down to 2 and extended her wakewindows and something just clicked and she’s started sleeping 7-6😳 Honestly it’s been a game changer for me because it’s been awful for about 5 months solid and now it’s just so much better x
