What is the deal???

Question

I don't know what to do. 7 months old this week. Gets cereal and solids (we do one a week). Takes 2 naps during the day. She has always had bath at 8:30 and bed at 9. Drinks 6-8 ozs before bed. She will fall asleep, but will wake up 30-60 min later ready to PARTY! Stays up till between 12-1. Then still gets up between 6-6:30. No teeth yet, and formula fed. She is clearly not sleeping enough, but what gives??? Anyone else???

Answer

We just had this, went on for about a week until a tooth popped through then he started sleeping again. Hopefully just a tooth!

Answer

Might need to consider an earlier bedtime!

Answer

It's nice to hear I'm not the only one going through this. We made it through the six month sleep regression only to have a week of sleep until my son started doing the same thing. I think it's his teeth. This is just a weird sleep time for babies I'm guessing.

Answer

I always make sure that my girl has 2 naps during the day that do not exceed 2 hours each.  Since she is teething she has been waking up about 30 minutes into her naps, but I just go in and calm her back to sleep.  Some days are just extra rough and she doesn't want to nap - it is what it is.  I just try to let her sleep longer on the next nap if possible.  
She is formula fed about every four hours (8 oz, 7oz, 6oz, 6oz). I also add an additional ounce of water to each bottle to help aid in digestion with the solids she is taking in now.  
Homemade purée twice a day.  In the morning she has about 2oz or more of fruit.  In the evening she get about 1.5oz of veggie (this weekend I'm bumping it up to 2oz).  
These days I have been giving her Tylenol before her last bottle.  We have a great bedtime routine that helps wind her down before she has her last bottle.  While she has her bottle I read to her and sing for the last part of it.  By that point she knows she is going down for bed and 99% of the time passes out immediately after finishing her bottle.
She always goes down at 8pm.  If it's been a rough day, I will put her down closer to 7:30.
She sleeps 11-12 hours every night give or take a little.  
I hope some of this helps.  Good luck to you.

Answer
