Naps and bedtime
Show your support
We’ve just dropped to 2 naps between 7 and 8 months. Times are still so variable but wake up is between 6:30 and 8, bedtime is between 7 and 8 and naps are usually 30-60 mins in the morning and about 1-1.5 hours in the afternoon
Depends on the day
No consistency. Today 1hr 1hr6 And currently on nap3. Her last nap normally is the long one. Thursday / Friday, 2 naps due to a 7:30am wake. Today she woke at 6. I take her up around 7:15 each night.
Naps are all over the place, has 3 a day which usually total around 3 hours altogether but timings of them are different every day. He wakes anywhere between 5 and 6:30am and goes to bed around 7pm x
Turned 7 months yesterday - wake up between 7.15 and 7.45am, 1st nap 9.45 for 30 mins, 2nd nap 1 for 1 hour, 3rd nap 4.45 for 30 mins bedtime between 8 and 8.30pm
Just turned 7 months and this week we transitioned from 3 to 2 naps because he started waking up early and struggled to fall asleep at night. Now sleeps 7pm-7am (+/-15-20min), 1st nap at 9.30am, 2nd nap at 1.30/2pm, naps are anywhere between 45 min to 1.5hour. previously slept 7pm-6am, naps were at roughly 8am, 12pm and 3.30pm for about 40min.
My girl is usually asleep by 1845ish. I wake her at 2300 to give her a bottle and change her, then sleeps till 6.15ish. Nap 1 0845 and I wake her at 0930 if still sleeping Nap 2 1240ish and I wake at 1500 if still asleep. Bedtime routine starts at 1800

@Georgina how did you manage to get this routine? She loves to sleep!
@Maria I've been quite lucky, she's always loved her sleep! Had a few bad nights a couple of weeks ago and early wakes - think due to crawling plus illness and husband getting up early for work other than that she's been good. Nap wise at 6 months she was resisting 3rd nap, so I had a play with routine and found capping the first nap to about 45mins max means she has a lovely long sleep in the afternoon, often giving me 2hours+ meaning she doesn't need a 3rd. Introduced a comforter at 3.5 months which I think helps her link her cycles and overall I've been able to leave her to it 🤞 have quickly learnt she thrives of routine so I try to make sure I'm home for her nap times and stick to her routine being consistent.
3 naps total is usually around the 3hr mark We aim for a 7:30pm bedtime but flexible depending on how naps have gone. Day can start anywhere from 5am - 8:30am. It’s always lucky dip 🤣
My baby usually has 3 naps a day, first 2 are around half an hour and the last is an hour. She wakes around 6ish and goes yo sleep around 7ish, but the last few days her naps have gone a bit all over the place as I think she's starting to transition from 3-2 naps.
