Would you please share your 6 1/2 month old's sleep schedule?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I'm so exhausted! My DS used to sleep through the night, but for the past few weeks (ever since he turned 6 months old), he is waking up every 2 hours at night. We bed-share (is that the same as co-sleeping?), so sometimes I can just pat his butt and he falls back asleep. And his nap times during the day have decreased. He used to nap 3 - 4 times a day for two hours each time. And then sleep for about 7 hours straight at night.

Would you please share your 6 month old's sleep schedule? Thank you!

Around 6.5 mo DS was going to bed around 6:30 and sleeping until about 6:30, but waking up probably ~3 times per night--I don't remember exactly.

Around that time we went to 2 naps. We had 3 naps for a couple weeks and then I just nixed it. The third nap was usually only 20-30 minutes and more of a pain that it was worth. So a nap about 2 hours after he woke up and the second 3 hours after that or at 1:00, whichever was longer.

Wow, my DS has never slept that much! 6 month olds have a lot going on, teething, developmental milestones, etc. Waking every 2 hours at that age is pretty normal.

That is so good to hear! I've been frustrated lately with dd's sleeping - or lack there of- and wondered what I was doing wrong. Hopefully it's just the stage and we'll grow out of it soon! Fingers crossed.
