Sleep Schedule

Can you guys share your sleep schedules? I am so all over the place because most days I go to my sister’s house and stay till after dinner but then we don’t end up leaving till 9-11pm. It worked for a while as he was still so little and wake up every 2-3 hours but now he can do really long stretches and we need a routine. Any advice appreciated! *Baby is 5 months.*

My baby is also 5 months old and he has a strict bed time of 7PM to 6AM, he starts getting super fussy by 6.30PM so we made a bed time routine of changing his clothes diaper fresh up feed him tummy full and he immediately falls asleep. but someone has to stay beside him or he will wake up again and stays awake till i sleep next to him. In the middle of the night he wants up for a feed, i feed him and falls back to sleep again. Not all the babies are same, follow your babies queues and do what best works for you and baby.

@Pallavi When would he do his first nap? My baby only likes to nap for 20-30 min max at a time. Also, I think a big reason why I am so hesitant on a earlier bed time is because he also wakes up if someone is not literally next to him but for some reason around 10pm he isn’t and will sleep on his own.

Mine too he goes into deep sleep after 10PM till that time someone hs to be next to him. Once he wakes up at 6AM he will have his first nap at 10AM, we started feeding him solids so after eating I’ll breastfed him to sleep around 10AM and he usually sleeps for an hour.

My baby’s sleep schedule is: Wake 6:30 AM Nap 8:30-10:30 Nap 12:45-2:30 Nap 4:30-5:00 Bedtime 7:30 PM I like the book Babywise but moms on call is good too as well as the huckleberry app but the app has a paid subscription and you can likely find books at your library for free.

@Angelica Thank you!! Does baby wake up thru the night to feed?

No she doesn’t. She’s a good sleeper.

I thought only my baby is like that He needs someone by his side to sleep/nap longer His naps are 30-45 mins long and sleeps around 9 pm He doesn’t have a strict schedule but gets fussy by 8-9 pm He then gets a dream feed between 11pm -12 am and then sleeps till 4:30- 5am
