How's your LO sleeping?

Question

So my son has always been awful with naps. Recently we've been experimenting because he started being awful at bed time as well. We've found he has to have his nap early and be up before 3pm or he sleeps really late (like 11pm) on a night time. He wakes up between 8:30 and 9:30am, we have to get him to nap at about 12 and try to get him up between 2pm and 3pm. Then he goes to bed with a little fight at about 8:30pm to 9pm. He still usually wakes up once in the night to nurse or occasionally just cuddle before going back to sleep.
What's everyone else's May babies sleeping like? He's moving into his own room after Christmas and I'm hoping that is enough to get him sleeping through the night.

Answer

I'm a night owl, so she's usually in bed for 10. Then sleeps in until 8-9 (I'm off to work by then so my dad just waits for her to wake up. But on the weekend its perfect because I can sleep in. 
Naps are between 1.5-3 hrs. Depending on where we are, what we're doing. My life isn't so regimented, so my daughter's can't be. Typically 1-ish start time, but today it was 4.
About once a week she throws me a curve ball and will wake up for a little bit a night. Sometimes she goes right back to sleep, sometimes she needs a diaper change, or some milk, or cuddles. But this is unpredictable.  Well, typically the one night a week I really want her to sleep - swear she has a sixth sense.

Answer

My daughter takes one nap a day and that usually happens around 10:30 and lasts 2-3 hours. Then she goes to bed at 8pm and sleeps till 8:30pm. It hasn’t always been like this. I found takingcarababies to be very helpful when transitioning into her own room. She is know starting to put up a fight when taking naps but she still takes them.

Answer

Night sleep 7:30pm-6:30am. Nap from 12:45pm-3:00pm. Like clockwork.

Answer

My son sleeps from 7:30p to 6:30a and takes a nap from 11:30-2. We try to keep him very active (no tv time, always an adventure before lunch, as much running/climbing/playing as possible) and stick to his schedule, but we can usually push him a bit (like if we’re at a party or have people over) as long as we allot extra sleep time the next day.  He has his own bed in our room and chooses where he wants to sleep and that’s made all the difference!  His sleep also improved A LOT when we turned off all night lights and made the room pitch black.  I also give him half a banana and milk right before bed (and no white carbs for lunch), which seems to really help keep that tummy full.

Answer

Our daughter at night sleeps 8p-8a. We put her down around 8 but I notice it takes her about 10-15 to settle and fall asleep. The wakeups throughout the night are rare where she needs attention. I hear her occasionally wake up at 5am to play and babble and go back to sleep around 8am. She goes down for a nap around 12:30-1ish (emphasis on the ISH) and takes a 2 hour nap. At daycare it fluctuates, but she's consistent at home. We have followed TakingCaraBabies on Instagram and followed her recommendations for wake windows and they have worked well for us since she was 3mo old!

Answer

He sleeps 7:30 pm to 7 am. One nap right after lunch until about 2. Sometimes he needs a morning nap, but only on days that he gets woken up by my husband getting ready for work. That's his daily routine now. Goes down with no fuss for everything since we keep it on as much of a schedule as possible
