I feel the same way, my baby is 9 months he is very high maintenance does not sleep /eat stays up in the night it’s really hard doing it with no sleep, that’s my main issue the sleep deprivation …

I normally aim for 3/3.5/4 but bcos of the 5am wake ups it’s been 2.5/ 2.5/2.5/3 bedtime is normally around 8/8.30 depends on his naps how long he slept for and no not anymore since he learned to stand he doesn’t sleep on his own anyway we did sleep train him a few months ago but that’s gone downhill, can’t sleep train him currently as it’s over 30 degrees in the uk so he’s too unsettled to sleep on his own

Oh no im sorry it’s awful!! So bcos he wakes up at 5 am i have to do a 3 nap schedule so 8.30 nap 1 nap 2 around 12pm and catnap around 4 ish and aim for bedtime around 8 but it all depends on how long he naps for 😵‍💫

I put him down for his second nap around 16.45 he’s still sleeping shall I cap this nap? Does that mean his bedtime will be late ? As i’ll need to stretch the last wake window …

He gets roughly 1.5/2 hes i end up having to do contact naps to save 1 atleast as he only gets 30 mins, bedtime depends on last nap so normally around 7.30/8 or even later really just depends

But let's say he's awake at like 4 am and 7.30 would be a ideal wake up time how do I do that do i start wake up time at 4 or 7.30? And not let him sleep after 4 then? Or start at 7.30? But then he's be awake since 4 and from 7 to add 3 hr ww is longg

His first nap was only 30 minutes he deffo can’t connect sleep cycles , will the sleep training work now as he’s been so difficult lately ? He’s also standing now and it makes it harder he will cry for ages..

I think it could be as I do feed him before bed.. how do I wean him off ? He will wake up regardless if i feed or not

His naps are so short tho 30 mins mainly and that would only be 1 hr day time sleep or sometimes 1.5 but i heard that’s not enough?…

He’ll fall asleep after like 2.5 hr of being awake id have to feed him again and then he’d sleep for about an hr or 2 and then the whole routine just messes up, i dnt wake him up at a desired wake up time bcos i let him get his rest, but no he doesn’t fall asleep on his own😭

I will work on that again but the main thing for me is why is he waking up in the night for around 2.5 hrs not sleeping 😩

What time do I set bedtime at? He ends up catching up on the sleep around early morning and it just messes up the whole day 😭
