8 Month old sleep schedule

2 replies

Thisislyd86 · 03/04/2020 14:20

Hi am new to this but wanted some advice on my 8 month old. He has never slept through the night, is always waking multiple times and also always has an early wake up (and at random times) but dropped all night feeds months ago.

So about 6 weeks ago I moved him into his cot in his room as he was outgrowing his next to me and I also weaned him off the dummy as was getting up 10-20 times a night to replug ! Loosing thedumny improved my sleep quite a bit but he was still waking quite a few times in the night. I decided to try the Ferber method of controlled crying which seemed to be working after 3 night but then got worse and now (3 weeks later) its just random but He still does not sleep through the night?

He naps 3 times a day and has wake periods of about 2.5 hours as recommend for his age. Hes a grear seld settler at naps and I've always put him down in his cot awake.

Does anyone have any suggestions ? Or I would vbe e interested to know of other 8 month old schedules?

Hi OP,

Mine is just gone nine months and is still up at night quite often, although he's improving from the several weeks where he just didn't sleep!

He does two naps a day, 10-11.30ish and 14-16ish, then gets grotty around seven and ideally would be down and in bed before eight but I'm discovering what he wants is to sleep nine to nine. Which is causing a lot of late bedtimes and angry mornings.

Once he's down we usually get about half an hour before he has a howl, go up and resettle, maybe feed, then we get intermittent yodelling whenever he rolls over, but he settles himself for those. Then a feed somewhere between five and seven and back down until nine if he's let.
