Re: 5 month old and naps/sleeping
Ds seems to be changing it up a little but generally wakes 6:30-7 Naps 830-915ish, 11ish quick nap 2-330 nap bed 615-630.
On a side note he seems to be dropping a bottle?? How many bottles/ounces does your DD take.?

Re: 5 month old and naps/sleeping
DD takes about 2-3 cat naps during the day about 20-30 mins each...I think she is finally starting to take 1 longer nap (45min) in the morning which she started late last week...she has never been much for napping during the day but is in bed sleeping by 8:00 and sleeps til about 7:30-8:00am

Re: 5 month old and naps/sleeping
ok so we've had 2 really rough nights here. 2 nights ago she was up ALL night long. I mean wide awake, wouldn't go back to sleep. The only time she slept was in the bed with us but I hate doing that. I moved her to her bouncy set in my room but just cried. Last night I was up at LEAST 10 times giving her the paci. She would take it and go back to sleep but this is insane.
I don't know what to do. She is sick, so I know that's part of the problem but before she sick this paci thing was happening. She's sttn before and i don't ever give a bottle at night so I know she can do it.
There is no real schedule for her b/c we are always in and out so I can't even say how much she sleeps during the day. when we are home she generally takes 1 long nap 2-3 hrs and a few cat naps. Gets extremely fussy around 7. Start bedtime 7/7:15 in bed by 7:30. Then it's a guessing game.
I am so tired

I always offer 7 ounces but she doesn't finish every bottle. 4-5 bottles so 28-35 ozs. is offered but I would say she's around the 30 oz range per day. Typed out it sounds like a lot to me haha.

Re: 5 month old and naps/sleeping
Can she be teething? Maybe try Tylenol before bed?

she def could be. drooling like crazy, things always in her mouth, no teeth yet, no white spots. we gave her tylenol last night b/c she has a cough and everytime she coughs she cries, so i figured it was hurting her.

Re: 5 month old and naps/sleeping
DD is almost 7 months. she sleeps through the night (usually, sometimes wakes between 4-5am) from 630/7pm -- 6am.
Naps still aren't really consistent but she seems to be falling into a pattern
9-1030
2-330
