My six month old has fallen into a great sleeping routine. ?

Question

Wake up around 8:00am nap from 11:00 - 1:00 play eat and then another nap around 4:00 to 6:00 and then bed between 9:00 - 10:00. Today was a little different. Only a half hour nap in the early morning. Afternoon nap was from 2:00 - 4:00 now he was so fussy I gave him some breast milk and now he is down at at 6:15pm. Should I wake him up at 7:00pm and then put him down between 10:00 and 11:00? Any suggestions

Answer 1

I would NOT wake him.  My experience when my boy has been low on sleep and went for a late nap, he would be up 30-60 minutes later than usual before being ready for bedtime.  Watch for drowsy clues tonight, but don't wake him from his nap.

Answer 2

No.  This is actually the routine you want.  He should be able to sleep from now until maybe 7 am.  A bit early than you are used to but you will enjoy the baby free evenings.  Mine's schedule at that age was:

7pm-7am sleep

9-10:30am nap

2-7pm nap

Good Luck!

Answer 3

My boys are 9 mnths and 22 mnths and they have slept like this since they were 5 mnths..

They wake up about 7:30 or 8 am. take a nap at 11:30 and wake up around 1. then they play and eat and take another nap about 3:30 or 4 and wake up at just about 6. then they eat dinner play take a bath at 8 and are ready to go to bed at 9. So i think it just maybe good luck.. Most people cant believe that both of my boys take a nap at the same time.

Answer 4

maybe he's sick.

sick babies sleep a lotttt.

my 2 year old niece sleeps like allday if she's sick.

and when she isn't sick anymore she sleeps like regular.. all night, like a 1-2 hour nap everyday.

Answer 5

my baby at six months was like this

8am wake up

8-12 eat play eat

12:30(ish)-3(ish) nap

3-6(ish) eat play eat

and by 6:30 she was in bed

I think it is normal but mine knocked herself out of it

Answer 6

No I would not wake him either.  He may be sick, but if he is not then he is just changing his sleeping pattern.  I am sure you were used to his schedule, sorry.  My doc said that it is always healthy to let a baby pic and choose their own schedule. Good luck!
