8 month old - how long do yours sleep through the day?

[REIDmylips]

my ds is just 8 mo and has approx 4 half hour sleeps throughout the day. I was just wondering what 'the norm' is.

Oh and what time do they go to bed and get up?

he'll do what is right for him !

now go and relaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax !

a boy that gorgeous can do whatever he wants!

lol lulu! i am just curious (and a bit nosey) i am not concerned just thought i'd ask

My ds is 8mths he...

Wakes up between 7am and 8am

Has a nap of about half an hour at about 10/11am

Then has a afternoon nap of 1 - 2 hrs at about 2pm.

Goes to bed between 7 - 8pm and sleeps through.

HTH

varies a lot here, but if there were a typical for my dd it woud be:

awake 0630
aslepp 0900-1100
asleep 1500-1630
asleep 1900
1 wake-up in the night

however, like i say, lots of variations on ths theme (e.g. 3 naps today, still awake now, 2030)

am jealous pucca. my ds is wakingbetween 5-6am! which is part of the reason for my starting the thread! thank you for sharing

2 or 3 naps from half to 2 hours. sleeps at 8pm, wakes up few times. o like now

.

anyone?

Wakes at 7ish
Nap 9-10.30ish
Nap 2-3 ish
Bed 7.45
Wakes at 1am and 5am

does your lo last from their afternoon nap until 7.45pm?

Yep no probs, if we are out and he falls asleep in the car aound tea time he won't go to bed until 8.30 or later.
Saying that he wouldn't have been able to a month ago.

my ds cannot last any longer than 2 (on the odd day 3) hours max before he falls asleep! however he wil only sleep for 30 minutes at a time!

Bless him
Is he moving about at all yet?

he can roll over ut thats about al, although we have been into him a couple of times and he has been horizontal across the cot iykwim!

one or two 30min to hour long naps.

he sleeps (well is in bed!) from 7.30 at night til about 7.30/8 am (later if dd is still asleep as he is in bed with me and i just bf to keep him happy)

bnow to read the thread and thouroughly depress myself by finding everyone elses babies sleep for hours

7 till 7 is brilliant!

my ds goes to bed (and atually sleeps )from 7pm until 5am! he doesnt usually wake in the night at all, so i suppose i should b grateful for that really.

i was just wondering how day time naps effected night time sleep. Although i'm beginning to realise that it doesnt seem to follow any pattern at all!

he doesn't sleep though.... he wakes between 3 and 20 times.

some nights he's good and sleeps til 3/4 or even 5 before coming into bed with me, other nights he has me up and down the stairs 20 times before 11 o clock, i give up and go to bed with him and he still raises hell.

we just have a very strict 'no getting up after bedtime' policy.

Pink, i think thats a great policy. We are the same, which i think has had a lot to do with why he sleeps from 7pm until at least 5am

Gosh, my son gets nothing like as much sleep as the rest!

He goes down after his brothers are in bed at 7.30/8.00 - probably 9ish after his feed. He usually wakes once in the night and wakes for the day some time between 5-7am.

I would say his naps (2 or 3) are from 45 mins to 1 hour, rarely longer. So much depends on what we are doing on any one day.

crayon, i think each child varies. I thought my ds didnt need much sleep at night, hence wakes at 5am. Seems your lo needs even less!!!

wow, arent they all different, my dd:
awake - between 6-7
asleep - 10-11
asleep - 12.30-1.30
asleep 3.30 - 4.30
bedtime - 8pm
(all v approx times !)
at the mo wakes several times in the night to be resettled or have milk! trying to find ways of fixing that on mn at the mo!!

At 8 months my dd was having 2 naps a day, of anything between 30 mins and 2 hours each (never 2 long ones though), and sleeping 8pm-6am (she was just starting to sleep through at 8 months, although teething ruined that again a couple of weeks later).

9 months, 7:30pm - 6:30am (sometimes 7am). Sometimes wakes for a feed.

Day time, used to be, until last few weeks, 2-3 20min - half hour naps. Now, somewhere between that and one 2.5 hour nap. Most usual seems to be 1.5 hours, and maybe another half hour if she has lots of fresh air.

oh, and until the last few weeks, also woke up constantly thru the night .
Slept through for first time night after I went back to work. I think she knew mummy needed some sleep!

pmsl.... he had a nap from 10 am til half one today just to prove m wrong!

and is still asleep after going down at 7.30 pm!
