Sleep regression?

Question

My newly 7 month old was sleeping until around 6:00-6:30 AM and I even had to wake him on some days during the week to get him ready for daycare. The last 5-6 days, he’s been getting up anywhere between 4:45-5:15 AM. We’ve tried slightly adjusting bed time but he has always gone to bed between 6:20-6:45 PM and it was never an issue. Anyone else’s baby start having early wakings? What helps?

Answer

Early morning rising can be a sign that they need a slight schedule shift. What are baby’s current wake windows?

Answer

Have you been looking at wake windows? My son is also 7 months and I’m constantly unsure about how much sleep he needs/should have. Yesterday’s he woke at 6am. First nap was 8:45-9:45. Then he should’ve slept at lunchtime but we were out and so he didn’t sleep until 15:15-15:55. I woke him up from his first nap but not his second. He went to sleep at 18:50. Weirdly, although he was awake from 5:10-5:50 this morning, he went back to sleep and was up just before 7 this morning. Then today, he couldn’t nap at the right time (I would’ve let him sleep from 9) as we had a vet appointment so he didn’t go to sleep until 10:05. I’m letting him sleep for up to 1.5 hours. No idea if I’m doing this right either, but I do make sure I know roughly how long he needs awake before he naps, especially at bedtime
