Moms of 8 month olds.....

What's your child's nap & sleep schedule.

He takes such short naps - like 2 20 mins naps if I'm lucky.

At night he'll go down at 8:30 and wake up 6.

Sometimes he'll want a bottle at around 5 and go back down until 7 or so.

I have a 7 month old so I hope I can help.

IMO, please don't take offense, but I do not believe this is enough daily sleep for an 8 month old. Total night time sleep at this age should be between 11 and 12 hours, and daily sleep should be between 3-5 hours spread between 2-3 naps. Naps should end by 4:00 pm to preserve night time sleep, and ideal bedtime is between 6-8 pm, or 4 hours from the last nap wake up.

My 7 month old's average day is as follows:

6:00 - Wakeup
9:00 - 10:30 Nap
1:30 - 3:00 Nap
7:00 - Bed

He typically only naps a total of 3 hours a day and sleeps around 11 hours at night. I hope this helps. I would try to improve his naps which will surprisingly improve his night time sleep as well.

No offense taken. He's usually a better napper but lately has being waking up after 20 mins or so. Though today he slept longer. Could be teething.

Thanks for sharing your schedule!
