Q for mums with 7-8 month olds

[newmum]

How often and for how long does your LO sleep in the day time? From when they wake up properly in the morning until they are put to bed properly at night.

Seems to me that it doesn't matter how much or how little LO sleeps in the day, she still has the same number of hours (or minutes ) at night.

hi newmum

My LO isnt one for sleeping much in the day she has 2 half hour naps on average, sometimes a bit longer, then is in bed at 7p.m ish and sleeps till 6.15-730 a.m.

How are you doing?

Maddison has 2 half hour naps a day and sleeps 7pm-6am on average. She has been waking up through night quite a bit recently though

Ryan wakes up at about 630am, sleeps for about an hour at 830 and then another hour in the afternoon.. thats with me. At nursery he sleeps about half an hour in the morning and then a longer sleep in the afternoon about an hour and a half, so about 2 hours I suppose. Then he goes down at 630/7pm - he plays for about an hour and is usually asleep by 8 at the latest having knackered himself out playing..

Summer sleeps for about an hour-2 hours per day, some times not even that.

Ash has and hour and a half in the morning and then half an hour in the afternoon. So 2 hours total.

He is in bed by 7pm and I get him up at 8am, although he doesn't always sleep through. Sometimes have to feed him in the early hours or go in and settle him again, but he goes back to sleep ok.

At that age Isaac was having 2-4hrs of naps in the day and always slept the same through the night, 7pm-6/7am.

Alex sleeps for maybe an hour mid-morning, and then perhaps 2 hours or so early evening. At night he sleeps about 11 hours ish.

Nothing set in stone - but roughly.

Thanks for your replies

It kind of confirmed to me that every baby is different and what works for one doesn't work for another. Everyone keeps telling me that I should cut out her naps to make her sleep at night but she doesn't really sleep that much, maybe around 2- 3 hours in the day. If I try to keep her awake she just gets cranky, understandably. Yesterday she went from 11am to 8pm with only half an hour and still woke up in the night so it doesn't really make much difference.

I don't really mind when it is just the once in the middle of the night but it is the 5am start that hurts

Has Maddison cut any of her teeth yet that she has been working on? My LO took AGES and AGES to get them after she started teething.

I have the sleeper! Clark gets up at 8am with his dad, then he is back to sleep by 10.30am until 1.30pm then he goes off again at 4pm until 6pm when I have to wake him up!

Obviously this is only when we spend all day at home but when we are out he sleeps alot in his pram too!

Hi Newmum!!! Sorry it is still tought for you I think, her day naps are fine. Do you think she might be just hungry in the night? Daniel started sleeping MUCH better after we reintroduced a bottle at 10.30 pm

 

[newmum]

Not sure Carina. She 'usually' wakes every 4 hours.Eg. goes to bed at 8pm then wakes at midnight and has a bottle then gets up at 5am.

But last night was great ... went to bed at 10pm and then woke at 12, 1, 3 and up at 5am.

Just wanted to get an idea of day time naps because so many people say to stop her sleeping in the day but it doesn't really work and I think it is just one of those things people say without thinking.

Hi Nikkif - doing ok but just a bit tired Is Charlotte still not having breakfast? Mine started dropping her morning bottle and eats more breakfast instead. But I guess she makes up for it in the night when she still has one. How are you?
