Ok, I know this problem pales into insignificance compared to others (and those that I have previously had), but I'm struggling to get 7.5 mo DD onto a daytime routine because, if left to her own devices, she wakes up at completely random times one morning to the next. She goes to bed (asleep, self-settling) at about 7.15 each night. She then wakes up once in the night, recently it's been either 3ish or 5ish. I feed her and put her back in her cot, that takes about 20 mins. I usually wake her up around 7.15 am, as in order for us to get out when we need to in the morning, but this morning I just left her to her own devices to see what would happen and she didn't wake up until 8.30 (and that was only because we were crashing around getting ready for the day and I opened her bedroom door, I bet she would have slept longer if I'd left her door closed). I have no idea what her naps will do today (she usually naps twice, a morning nap a couple of hours after she's woken up and a lunchtime nap 3 hours after she's woken up from her morning one).
I have a theory that if I weaned her off her night feed then she'd wake up naturally at a more convenient hour (or, she may just wake up at 5.30 and refuse to go back to sleep!), but we're not quite ready for that yet.
So, really just wondering if anyone else has a baby that sleeps with this sort of pattern and, if so, do you wake them up in the morning so that their naps and meals take place on a convenient/ traditional schedule (e.g. morning nap at 9am, lunch at noon, afternoon nap at 1pm, etc)?
